Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

OBJ. 8.1 - In a DevOps environment, maintaining separation of duties is a challenge because developers and operations staff often share responsibilities. This can blur the lines between roles, increasing the risk of unauthorized changes or security vulnerabilities. While regulatory compliance and timely patching are also concerns, they are more easily managed. For support or reporting issues, include Question ID: 67d969d2bfb8b304f5d76515 in your ticket.
