Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • A controlled emergency release path with defined approvals, essential validation, and rollback or roll-forward

A controlled emergency path balances speed with accountable validation and recovery. Uncontrolled direct edits and automatic blanket bypass introduce risk, while refusing urgent changes leaves active exposure unresolved.
