Explanation:
The correct answer is B. An independent risk oversight committee that systematically reviews policies and reports directly to the board of directors demonstrates strong and effective oversight governance. This structure ensures independence from the business line, provides consistent and proactive monitoring, and maintains appropriate board-level visibility.
Option A is incorrect because intermittent oversight focusing only on past-due accounts is reactive and insufficient for comprehensive risk management.
Option C is incorrect because while internal audit plays a role in the third line of defense, oversight of credit risk management (second line) should not be exclusively delegated to audit; it requires active, ongoing risk management oversight.
Option D is incorrect because a predominantly reactive approach fails to proactively identify, measure, and mitigate risks before they materialize into significant issues.
