Answer options:

D. Distinct

B

Sustainability ensures that the control continues to function as expressed over the time and adopts as changes or new elements are introduced to the environment. Incorrect Answers: A: Reliability of control ensures that it will serve its purpose under multiple circumstances. C: Consistent characteristic of the control tells whether the control can be applied in the same manner across the organization. D: A control or countermeasure which does not overlap in its performance with another control or countermeasure is considered as distinct. Hence the separation of controls in the production environment rather than the separation in the design and implementation of the risk refers to distinct.
