Explanation
A Data Management Plan is a comprehensive governance document that defines how data assets are managed throughout their entire lifecycle - including collection, storage, use, sharing, and ultimately retention and disposal schedules. Retention periods belong in this plan because it is the authoritative framework for data lifecycle governance. A data record model (A) describes the structure and schema of data. Data recovery procedures (B) address how to restore data after loss. A data quality standard (C) defines accuracy and completeness rules. None of these are the appropriate artifact for defining retention schedules.
