Question 540A team imports CIs without deciding who owns the business service and every service record has a blank owner. As the responsible administrator, which change most directly resolves the described problem? Apply the appropriate CSDM service ownership model and populate accountable service roles. Measure CI data health such as completeness, correctness and relationship consistency. Define authorized reconciliation precedence for competing data sources. Use governed group membership and role assignment according to the approved access model. ExplanationCorrect Answer A:Apply the appropriate CSDM service ownership model and populate accountable service roles. This is the targeted intervention because Service modeling requires governed ownership as well as technical CI relationships. A useful acceptance test is: Check representative services for assigned accountable owners and useful CI links. Other Answers B:Measure CI data health such as completeness, correctness and relationship consistency. This would be appropriate for another scenario: A CMDB dashboard shows thousands of CIs but does not indicate whether ownership and lifecycle fields are complete. It does not directly fix this case, whose central mechanism is: Service modeling requires governed ownership as well as technical CI relationships. The specific corrective action needed here is: Apply the appropriate CSDM service ownership model and populate accountable service roles. C:Define authorized reconciliation precedence for competing data sources. This would be appropriate for another scenario: Two teams overwrite the same CI attribute from separate connectors without a source-priority policy. It does not directly fix this case, whose central mechanism is: Service modeling requires governed ownership as well as technical CI relationships. The specific corrective action needed here is: Apply the appropriate CSDM service ownership model and populate accountable service roles. D:Use governed group membership and role assignment according to the approved access model.
