Explanation
In change management, a rollback (also called a back-out plan) is a pre-planned procedure to reverse a change and return the system to its known-good state prior to the change. This is critical when a change causes unexpected failures, outages, or degraded performance. It is a risk mitigation mechanism. The other options describe different parts of the change management lifecycle: establishing security baselines (A), identifying needed changes (B), and validating change processes (D) are separate activities that occur before or after the change itself.
