A. B. C. D.C.
When evaluating a new system's production readiness, an IS auditor's greatest concern should be whether functional requirements have been met. Functional requirements are the essential features and functions that the system must have to meet the business needs of the organization.
The other options are also important, but they are not as critical as ensuring that the functional requirements are met. A system defect found during user acceptance testing is a concern, but it can be addressed and resolved through testing and remediation. Functional design documentation not being complete is a concern, but it can be addressed by completing the documentation. Projected benefits not being realized is a concern, but it is not as critical as ensuring that the system meets the functional requirements.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Functional requirements have not been met. If the system does not meet the functional requirements, it will not be able to meet the business needs of the organization, and the system will not be ready for production. The IS auditor should ensure that the system meets the functional requirements before it is released into production.
