Why each option

This question identifies which statements do NOT qualify as requirements of governance and enterprise risk management in a cloud environment. The correct answer pairs two statements that fall outside recognized ERM obligations.

AInspect and account for risks inherited from other members of the cloud supply chain and take

Inspecting and accounting for risks inherited from cloud supply chain members is a core, formally recognized requirement of cloud governance and enterprise risk management.

BRespect the interdependency of the risks inherent in the cloud supply chain and communicate the

Although B appears to describe a legitimate activity, it is identified as a non-requirement in this context - selecting only B ignores that C is equally not a requirement, making E the complete answer.

CNegotiate long-term contracts with companies who use well-vetted software application to avoid

Negotiating long-term contracts with vetted software vendors is a procurement consideration, not an ERM governance requirement - but selecting only C misses that B is also designated a non-requirement.

DProvide transparency to stakeholders and shareholders demonstrating fiscal solvency and

Providing transparency to stakeholders and shareholders is a recognized and legitimate cloud governance obligation, making it a genuine requirement rather than an exception.

EBoth B and C.Correct

Negotiating long-term contracts based on software vetting (C) is a procurement strategy, not a defined governance or ERM requirement in cloud environments. The framing in B, which describes respecting supply chain risk interdependency and communicating it, does not match any formally recognized ERM requirement - recognized obligations focus on assessing and accounting for inherited risks and providing stakeholder transparency, as reflected in A and D.
