Selected Answer: B

Immediate Expertise: An internal subject matter expert can step in and conduct the audit effectively right away, avoiding the need for a learning curve. Efficiency: Reassignment prevents wasted time and resources that might occur with extended durations or delayed schedules. Risk Management: A knowledgeable auditor ensures that risks associated with cloud services are properly identified and assessed now, rather than later. Thus, the most effective and efficient way to ensure audit quality in this scenario is to reassign the audit to an internal audit subject matter expert.

Having B selected does not make a lot of sense. In the question it does not state if this is an internal or external audit. If it is an external audit then you it is advised to not use internal auditors. This question is terrible as are the answers.
