Why the other options are wrong
- B. Which model tier the agency prefers for its internal applications
- Model preference is not specific to a federal buyer.

- A friendly name has no bearing on authorization.
- D. Whether the assistant can write in a formal government style
- Writing style is a minor product detail.
