Explanation

In SRE culture, the correct response to an outage is a blameless postmortem. Answer B is correct because it includes root causes, resolution, lessons learned, and a prioritized action plan with assignees and due dates - all required elements for stakeholders to action remediations. Answers A and B appear identical in the truncated text, but B is the complete version that includes owner assignments and timelines. Answers C and D are wrong because they likely include a 'list of people responsible,' which violates the blameless postmortem principle central to SRE - blame discourages transparency and hinders learning from incidents.
