Not that it's straight forward. But getting the question. Assure compliance to this policy is the key, thus answer is B. But C or D could be the answer if probably asking to measure the effectiveness. My guess.

True, the question is asking for "compliance" not "effectiveness", so the answer is B. If it is about effectiveness then the answer would be C or D

Should be D, since this is the only option, that ensures the quality or effectiveness of the training on the individual level. The total number is not valid. It needs to be ensured, that new hires understand the policy. In any case, the discussion can only be between C and D, not B.

B says nothing, can be a useless training.

Yea it can be a useless training. But this question hasn't come to the stage of effectiveness. Just by compliance.

Selected Answer: A
A zero number of new employees violating the company's security policy indicates that all employees are in compliance with the policy. Completion of training alone does not negate the possibility that policy violations may occur.

I think the answer should be B. I do not understand why a staff violating security will be an indication of compliance with policy.
