Explanation

A filename like 'UserStories_v37_final_final_final.docx' is a classic sign that the employee is manually managing versions by appending suffixes to filenames. The most important best practice to address first is using a version control repository (e.g., Git, SharePoint versioning), which automatically tracks history, eliminates redundant copies, and prevents confusion about which file is authoritative. Naming conventions (A) are also important but are secondary - a version control system makes manual versioning irrelevant. Acceptance criteria (B) is unrelated to file management.
