Explanation
Verification is the process of testing and evaluating a system to confirm it complies with its design specifications and stated security requirements - essentially asking 'are we building the system right?' Validation (A), by contrast, asks 'are we building the right system?' and checks whether the system meets user needs or business requirements. Assessment (C) is a broader evaluation of risk or posture, and Accuracy (D) is a data quality attribute, not a security process.
