Explanation

The best recommendation is B-using a platform that certifies the provenance and licensing of its training data-because it addresses the root cause systematically and sustainably. Certified provenance ensures the organization can demonstrate legal compliance and that training data is properly licensed, which is the core governance concern. Option A (manual review of generated images) is reactive and impractical at scale; it doesn't fix the underlying licensing issue with the training data itself. Option C (labeling AI outputs as potentially containing third-party content) is a disclosure measure, not a remediation-it does not resolve the legal exposure. Option D (suspending the platform) is overly disruptive and should be a last resort, not the primary recommendation. Auditors prioritize sustainable, risk-mitigating controls over operational shutdowns.
