B.
planned OS updates have been scheduled to minimize negative impacts on company needs.

C.

Explanation:

Choices A, B and C are incorrect because none of them are related to the area being audited. In
reviewing the proposed application the auditor should ensure that the products to be purchased
are compatible with the current or planned OS. Regarding choice A, if the OS is currently being
used, it is compatible with the existing hardware platform, because if it is not it would not operate
properly. In choice B, the planned OS updates should be scheduled to minimize negative impacts
on the organization. For choice C, the installed OS should be equipped with the most recent
versions and updates (with sufficient history and stability).
