Explanation

Section 3.1.9 of the SEMP template is the section dedicated to work authorization and control procedures, including the approval processes governing change management - making B correct. This section establishes the processes (not the details) for how work gets authorized and how changes are approved, consistent with the SEMP's overarching philosophy of referencing processes rather than duplicating content found elsewhere.

The distractors are wrong because they cover different functions: Section 3.1.5 (C) typically addresses systems engineering resources or risk management; Section 3.1.7 (D) generally covers configuration management (which is related but distinct - it governs what is controlled, not the authorization workflow); and Section 3.1.8 (A) typically addresses quality assurance activities.

Memory tip: Think "9 = sign-off" - Section 3.1.9 is where you get the go-ahead (work authorization) and where changes get the green light (approval processes). The number 9 is the last single digit, so associate it with the final approval gate before work proceeds.
