Explanation

Ensuring data controls are maintained is the primary concern because a migration between dissimilar systems creates a window where existing security and privacy controls (access restrictions, encryption, audit logging, retention policies) may not carry over correctly to the new system. If controls are lost or misconfigured during migration, data could be exposed or corrupted. Automation (A) and effort estimation (D) are project management concerns. Backup integrity (B) is important for recovery but is secondary to preserving the active controls that protect the data throughout and after the migration.
