【答案解析】C

Explanation

Choice "c" is correct.

Choice "d" is incorrect. The control activities component of the ERM framework includes key elements that relate to the policies and procedures that ensure appropriate responses to identified risks, not to the assignment of authority and responsibility.

Choice "b" is incorrect. The information and communication component of the ERM framework includes key elements that relate to the identification, capture and communication of information, not to the assignment of authority and responsibility.

Choice "a" is incorrect. The monitoring component of the enterprise risk management framework includes key elements that relate to the ongoing management activities or separate evaluations of the ERM approach adopted by the entity, not to the assignment of authority and responsibility.
