Which of the following sentences BEST describes a Standard Change?

Modifying established policies and guidelines is an administrative or governance activity and is not a category of change defined within the ITIL Change Management process.

ITIL defines a Standard Change as one where the approach is pre-authorized because it is well understood, documented, and proven to carry an acceptable and understood risk. Because the procedure is established and accepted in advance, each instance can be implemented without going through full change authorization, reducing governance overhead while maintaining control.

A change initiated as a result of an audit can be any type of change - its origin in an audit does not define it as a Standard Change, which is classified by its pre-authorization and established procedure.

Correctly following the change process describes general compliance with Change Management procedures and applies to all change types, not specifically to the pre-authorized, low-risk nature of a Standard Change.
