Answer: B
The most effective method is to determine through code
comparisons what changes have been made and then verify that
they have been approved. Change control records and software
migration records may not have all changes listed. Ensuring
that only appropriate staff can migrate changes into
production is a key control process, but in itself does not
verify compliance.
