B.
Apple should enforce strict, transparent, and independent monitoring of its supply chain. That step creates immediate accountability, helps detect and stop human‑rights and environmental abuses (including child labor and unsafe mining), and provides verified information needed to target remediation. Public disclosure of smelters/refiners (D) and investment in low‑cobalt battery R&D (C) are also important, but independent monitoring is the practical next action to ensure problems are identified and addressed now.
