Which statement best describes detection of incomplete or corrupted scans?

• A. It may be automatic or manual; automatic should include random sampling
• B. It must be automatic only
• C. It must be manual only
• D. It is optional and not required to detect issues

Answer: (A)

Detecting incomplete or corrupted scans requires a process that guards the integrity of results through both automation and human review. Automatic checks are essential for efficiency and consistency, but they should include random sampling of results to verify that the scan data is complete and trustworthy. Random sampling helps catch issues like partial runs, data tampering, or transmission errors without needing to inspect every entry. Manual verification remains valuable for investigating anomalies and confirming automated findings, but relying on manual checks alone isn’t practical at scale. Conversely, using automatic checks alone without sampling can miss subtle problems, and making detection optional would allow issues to go unnoticed. So the best approach is that detection can be automatic or manual, with the automatic aspect incorporating random sampling to ensure incomplete or corrupted scans are identified and validated.
