Selected Answer: C
Read the question well, it did not say the ISM suspects or was told of the noncompliance. It categorically says 'He has become aware of the issue' . So the question is asking for the BEST next step. since he has already assessed the issue (which is how he became aware of it in the first place) option A is out of the window and since the ISM can not take executive decisions all by himself, it makes perfect sense that he would pull management in before he acts on the issue so C is the right answer

C. Notify senior management of the issue. (Best course of action and ISM is aware of the issue)

A. Assessing the extent of the issue should be the first step to understand the problem fully, after which the appropriate course of action can be determined, which may include reporting to senior management, legal personnel, or initiating contract renegotiation as needed.
