Selected Answer: D
This option accurately captures the essence of prudent underwriting standards in subprime mortgage lending, emphasizing the need for mitigating factors when risk layering features (like reduced documentation and simultaneous second-lien mortgages) are combined. Such practices ensure that the lending decision is supported by a solid assessment of the borrower's ability to repay the loan.
