Explanation

Effective change management requires a traceable audit trail, which is why B (timestamp and affected device), C (the original request justifying the change), and E (a description of what was actually changed) are the three essentials - together they answer when/where, why, and what for every change.

The distractors fail because A (the applier's physical location) is irrelevant to auditing a change - who applied it may matter, but not where they were sitting. D (size in bytes) is a technical metric with no inherent change management value. F (current CAB membership) describes the governance body, not the change record itself - that information belongs in the organization chart, not the change log. G (industrial protocol) is too narrow and context-specific to be a universal requirement.

Memory tip: Think of the three answers as the journalism core - When/Where (B), Why (C), and What (E). Every change record must tell a future auditor those three things without ambiguity.
