Answers
D.
ability to provide documentation of the source materials when they are imported into United Nations countries.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Due diligence for conflict- or high-risk materials must include a system of controls and transparency that ensures traceability of materials through the supply chain. This involves having detailed records and tracking mechanisms from the source to the final product, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of the origin and movement of these materials. Such transparency helps companies to avoid using materials sourced from conflict zones and ensures compliance with legal and ethical standards.

Tracking the country of origin (A) when materials leave the country is important but does not encompass the full traceability through the supply chain.

Certification by companies selling directly to consumers (C) about tier one suppliers is narrower in scope and does not address full supply chain transparency.

Providing documentation of the source materials upon import (D) is part of due diligence but not as comprehensive as maintaining a transparent system throughout the supply chain.
