I'm just picturing the poor agency employee who has to wait for that one grumpy dam inspector to file a complaint before they can fix anything. Talk about a recipe for disaster - and a lot of angry calls to the mayor's office!

Yep, C is the way to go. The agency needs to be on top of maintenance, not just responding to problems as they pop up. That's a classic internal control gap right there.

Hmm, this one's tricky. But I'd have to go with C as well. Relying on reactive maintenance rather than regular inspections is a recipe for disaster when it comes to critical infrastructure like dams.

I believe option D is also important. Checking references can help ensure quality work.

I agree with Marcelle. Option C is the only one that represents a lack of proactive internal controls. The other options seem to have proper checks and balances in place.
