If directly addressing a minor breach does not stop the problem, contact your supervisor immediately to take more 'official' action.

• A. Introduction
• B. Informal Resolution
• C. 4 Core Principles
• D. Formal Resolution

Answer: (D)

Escalation to a formal resolution is used when a direct, informal fix isn’t enough to stop a problem. You start by addressing the issue with the person involved, which is the informal approach. If that doesn’t work, you bring in a supervisor to institute an official, documented process—this is the formal resolution. It involves following established policies, creating written records, conducting any necessary investigation, and applying appropriate consequences or corrective actions. This structured path ensures accountability, fairness, and consistency in how breaches are handled. The other options don’t describe this escalation path: an introduction isn’t a process for resolving breaches, informal resolution is the non-official step attempted first, and a list labeled as core principles isn’t about managing a specific incident.
