I bet the auditor is just trying to catch us out with this one. Let's see, B sounds like the way to go. Unless, of course, they're feeling particularly mischievous today.

Ah, the age-old question of source vs. object code. I'm going with B, because who doesn't love a good compliance test?

I'm leaning towards A, a substantive test might be more appropriate in this case.

This is a tricky one! I'm leaning towards B, but D sounds plausible too. Guess I'll have to think it through a bit more.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Verifying the program versions could be considered a substantive test, but it's also checking compliance with library controls.

I think option B is the correct answer. Checking if the source and object versions match seems like a compliance test of the program library controls.

I believe option D is incorrect too. It's not a substantive test of the program compiler controls in this case.

I think option C is not the right choice. It's more about the program compiler controls, not the source and object versions.

But what about option A? Could it also be a substantive test of program library controls?
