I agree, the question could be a bit more straightforward. Still, I think the correct answers should be the ones that directly address the issues raised in the nonconformity statement, like ensuring resource availability, establishing objectives, and promoting continual improvement and the process approach.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The question asks for the four actions that can be considered 'corrections to the nonconformity,' but it's not entirely clear what the nonconformity is addressing. I think the key is to focus on the specific elements mentioned in the nonconformity statement.
