Selected Answer: C
Before embedding third-party libraries in developed code, it is crucial to assess the existing vulnerabilities in the third-party code and evaluate the responsiveness and efficiency of the library developers in addressing these vulnerabilities. This check helps to ensure that the third-party libraries are secure and do not introduce unnecessary risks into the developed code. The other options may provide valuable information about the third-party libraries, but assessing existing vulnerabilities and the responsiveness of the library developers is the most relevant security check in this context.
