D. Information security manager

C. Senior management I based the answer on the keyword "accountable." Senior management holds the ultimate accountability for ensuring proper controls are in place to address the confidentiality and availability of an information system. They are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organization, defining policies and objectives, allocating resources, and making decisions regarding risk management and control implementation. It is their role to provide oversight and governance to ensure that the necessary controls are established, maintained, and continuously improved to protect the organization's information assets. The information security manager, business managers, and other stakeholders play important roles in implementing and supporting these controls, but ultimate accountability lies with senior management.

I did get thrown off by "information order" but like one the below comments says, if it's a typo and it means Information Owner then this definitely is the right answer. The respective owners are always accountable. ISM is a information custodian not the information owner.

Agreed

It should be D
