Selected Answer: D
While lack of user acceptance testing (UAT) sign off (option B) is also a concern as it indicates potential gaps in validating the software against user requirements, the absence of secure coding practices poses a more immediate and severe risk to the security and integrity of the software and the organization's overall security posture. Therefore, it should be of greatest concern to an IS auditor reviewing a system software development project based on agile practices.
