Selected Answer: B

The periodic table link checks (option B) would be more effective in compensating for the disabled referential integrity controls. While it doesn't provide real-time enforcement like referential integrity, periodic checks can help identify and rectify data integrity issues, albeit not as promptly. Therefore, option B would be the most suitable compensatory control in this scenario.
