Which of the following answer variants best demonstrates strong Doing the Right Thing behavior with clear ownership and impact?
AI was reviewing logs and noticed a 0.5% data inconsistency outside my team's scope. I escalated it to the data team. They fixed it, and the issue was resolved.
BWe noticed a risk in the system and decided as a team to investigate. We found the root cause and deployed a fix. Customer complaints dropped significantly.
CDuring a routine check, I spotted a 0.5% data inconsistency in another team's system with no open tickets. I investigated the root cause, wrote a fix, and coordinated rollout with the data team. The inconsistency dropped to zero, preventing potential data loss.
DI saw a problem in the logs and told my manager. The team then fixed the issue, and things improved.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify scope boundary -- 'another team's system' in C.
  2. Step 2: Check for individual ownership -- 'I investigated', 'I wrote a fix' in C.
  3. Step 3: Look for quantification -- '0.5% inconsistency', 'dropped to zero' in C.
  4. Step 4: Confirm coordination with other teams -- present in C.
  5. Conclusion: During a routine check, I spotted a 0.5% data inconsistency in another team's system with no open tickets. I investigated the root cause, wrote a fix, and coordinated rollout with the data team. The inconsistency dropped to zero, preventing potential data loss. meets all criteria for strong Doing the Right Thing demonstration.
