Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how calibration records are kept and for how long. The Buff Copy of the Meter Card is intended to be stored in a standardized way so you can easily trace calibration history. Filing it in Measure Inventory format 310 provides a consistent, recognized location and structure for the record. Keeping this buff copy for at least 12 months or for one calibration cycle, whichever is longer, ensures you have the necessary documentation available for audits and for the next calibration, regardless of whether the cycle is shorter or longer than a year. The other options describe different documents or uses (a customer receipt, a generic calibration data log, or disposal authorization) that don’t match this specific retention and filing policy.
