An office manager asks Claude, with web search on, what the company's per-night hotel limit is for business travel. Claude gives an amount and cites a travel-industry blog post. What is the most appropriate way to verify the answer?

Answer: C — Check the amount against the company's current published travel policy, or ask the policy owner

Fact-checking means going to the source that has authority over the claim. For a company policy, that's the company's own current policy or its owner (c). A citation to a general blog is real but not authoritative for an internal policy (a). Agreement between AI tools is not verification (b). More websites agreeing doesn't make an outside source authoritative for an internal rule (d).
