Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

4-7Operational ProceduresModerate

A customer submitted a code fix and expects it live immediately, but the branch policy requires reviewer approval before the pull request can merge. What should the technician do first when explaining the delay to the customer?

Merge the change directly to bypass the policy so the customer is satisfied right awayBypassing the policy might resolve the immediate complaint but ignores established change controls and creates risk.
Set clear expectations about the required approval step and give a realistic completion timeCorrect · your answerThis directly demonstrates setting and meeting expectations by being transparent about process and timing.
Tell the customer the delay is not the technician's problem and end the callDismissing the customer is unprofessional and fails to address the concern at all.
Avoid mentioning the review requirement so the customer does not become upsetWithholding information avoids short-term friction but leaves the customer uninformed, which is the opposite of setting expectations.

Correct.

Concept

Setting and meeting expectations means giving the customer an honest, clear picture of process and timeline rather than avoiding the topic or overpromising.

Why B

Explaining the review requirement and a realistic timeframe keeps the customer informed and builds trust, which is the core of setting and meeting expectations.
