A. Defer the unresolved point until the task is complete and document it retrospectively.
B. Repeat only the final step without checking the underlying inputs, conditions, or controls.
C. Pause acceptance, compare Application of mathematics, physical principles and system models to the named discipline with the approved criteria,
investigate the variance, and retain a traceable decision record.
D. Change the acceptance criterion to match the observed condition without formal approval.
