Selected Answer: B
Answer: B While tracing data back to the point of origin can be useful for understanding where data comes from and how it enters the system, it's not necessarily a direct method of checking data integrity. Performing a sequence check, on the other hand, directly assesses the integrity of the data by ensuring that it is processed in the correct order or sequence, which is crucial for maintaining data consistency and accuracy.
