Correct answer
C. Treat it as a confirmed defect: follow the inspection outcome, get it corrected as required, and do not simply clear the warning and continue
Why
A defect does not become optional because someone else found it. The inspection report becomes the governing document for what must be fixed and certified before further operation.
