Short Explanation and Infographic
Think of ownership like signing a contract—when you put your name on it, you stay responsible for its terms.

Full Explanation
The correct answer is c. Sustained accountability requires that owners and reviewers remain identifiable and responsible throughout the AI use case lifecycle. This includes updating documentation when conditions change, responding to assessment findings, and executing remediation when risks emerge. Option a (expiring ownership) creates orphaned use cases that drift away from governance. Option b (anonymous owners) destroys accountability and audit trails—you can't hold someone responsible if you don't know who they are. Option d (no remediation tasks) means problems never get fixed. IBM watsonx.governance ties accountability to named individuals with clear ownership and review responsibilities, ensuring governance remains active and problems get remediated.
