B. Focus on identifying the contributing causes of the incident rather than the individual responsible for the cause. According to Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, the goal of a post-mortem is to identify the underlying causes of the incident in order to take steps to prevent it from happening again in the future. This involves looking for patterns and issues in the system rather than looking for a specific person to blame. It's important to have a focus on learning and continuous improvement, rather than assigning blame.
