Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Updating job descriptions systematically can ensure that the data used for human resource decisions is current and relevant. This proactive step can help mitigate the potential for using obsolete data. Stopping job analysis or contracting out human resource functions may not address the core issue and may not be feasible for all organizations. Allowing each manager to create their own job descriptions may lead to inconsistency and confusion.
