Explanation

A system owner is responsible for the overall procurement, development, integration, modification, operation, maintenance, and retirement of an information system. Their responsibilities include: (A) integrating security into purchasing and acquisition decisions; (B) ensuring systems are assessed for vulnerabilities and reporting them appropriately; and (C) ensuring adequate security controls such as passwords and access controls are in place. Option D - 'Ensures that the necessary security controls are in place' - is typically attributed to the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) or the Authorizing Official rather than the system owner as a distinct standalone responsibility in standard frameworks. The system owner collaborates on this but does not solely own it as a unique responsibility separate from the others listed.
