A. B. C. D.C.
Option C, comment on the criteria used to assess the alternatives, is the BEST course of action for the IS auditor in this situation.
Option A, identifying the best alternative, is not the best course of action because the IS auditor is not responsible for selecting the best alternative. The auditor's role is to provide an independent assessment of the options analysis process and the criteria used to evaluate the alternatives.
Option B, requesting at least one other alternative, may not be necessary in this situation. The IS auditor should focus on evaluating the options analysis process and the criteria used to assess the alternatives rather than suggesting new alternatives.
Option D, retaining comments as findings for the audit report, is not the best course of action because it implies that the auditor is only providing feedback for the audit report and not actively helping the project team to improve the options analysis process.
Therefore, the IS auditor's BEST course of action is to comment on the criteria used to assess the alternatives. This approach will help the project team to evaluate their criteria and potentially improve their options analysis process in the future. The IS auditor should provide constructive feedback that is based on their professional judgment and experience to help the project team to make informed decisions.
