Answer and explanation

Correct answer

B. Trace one concrete example, inspect the state transitions, and compare them to the intended rule before rewriting anything.

Why

That approach is reliable because it creates evidence. Blind retries can amplify incidents, while missing timeouts can trap the whole workflow behind one slow dependency.
