D. Identify the Required Maintenance Procedures and Ensure the Maintenance Policy is in Alignment This option is comprehensive as it involves reviewing the maintenance policy to confirm that it encompasses all necessary procedures for effective hardware maintenance. By ensuring that the maintenance policy is in alignment with the required procedures, you can effectively assess whether the maintenance activities are not only conducted regularly but are also appropriate and sufficient for the specific hardware needs. This approach provides a more thorough evaluation of the maintenance process compared to simply checking adherence to a schedule or recording failure rates.
