I think A is the one that's not really an external audit trait. There are times when audits happen due to issues or requests, not always super planned. Not totally sure though, correct me if I missed something obvious.
A or C? Option A uses "always" and that's almost never true for audits, there's always some exceptions in scheduling. Pretty sure it's A if we're being super strict here.
B/C? These ISO questions never make it easy. But C is the only one that's strictly NOT true-external auditors shouldn't advise, just observe and report. B is technically possible because plenty of audits will look at effectiveness depending on scope. Open to pushback if I'm missing a scenario though.
I'd double check the official ISO 27001 guide and a few mock tests, but C looks most likely here.
C for this one but honestly if you check the official training or do a few practice exams, they spell out why external audits shouldn't advise. Feel free to double check but pretty sure that's what they want here.
A
Always watch for the word "always" in A, but C fits better since external auditors aren't supposed to advise. C
C tbh
Had something like this in a mock. C
External audit questions always feel vague on these exams. C
