• B
  3% (2)
• C
  6% (4)
• D
  74% (48)

Explanation

Relying solely on email communication for conducting an entire virtual audit is not an appropriate or sufficient technology requirement. Virtual audits must be interactive, allowing for real-time engagement, document sharing, screen sharing, live interviews, and visual observations when ISO 19011:2018 (Clause A.17) provides guidance for remote audit techniques, including the need for reliable tools, contingency plans, trial runs, and technical compatibility checks.
