Correct answer

Cooperate, provide requested records, and demonstrate its responsible-service practices

A Cooperate, provide requested records, and demonstrate its responsible-service practices
B Refuse to cooperate
C Offer the inspector a drink
D Hide all records

Why this is the answer

During a compliance check or inspection by the alcohol authority or law enforcement, the establishment should cooperate professionally, provide requested records (such as licenses and certifications), and be prepared to demonstrate its responsible-service practices. A well-run establishment with good records and trained staff has little to fear from an inspection. Refusing to cooperate or concealing information can worsen the situation and lead to penalties. Managers should ensure the business is always inspection-ready by maintaining compliance continuously, not just when an inspection is expected.
