Answer B is incorrect because this choice would treat a successful indexer run as proof that every source document was ingested correctly. That can address a neighboring concern, but it does not implement ingestion quality alert for malformed or empty chunks; the decisive requirement in the stem therefore remains unresolved.

Answer D is incorrect because this choice would disable the safety or monitoring rule that is reporting the production problem.
