1. As both developer and provider it bears expanded obligations and direct liability for training-data provenance, documentation, and downstream harms it cannot shift to a vendor. ✓

   Correct because occupying both roles concentrates provenance, documentation, and liability duties that cannot be offloaded.
2. By owning the model it fully insulates itself from liability, since accountability for AI outcomes rests solely with the end users who choose to deploy the system.

   Wrong because ownership increases the firm's accountability rather than shifting it entirely onto users.
3. Building its own model removes any need for external assurance, because internal teams can self-certify compliance on their own without any independent review or third-party audit.

   Plausible but wrong because self-building does not eliminate the value or expectation of independent assurance.
4. Owning the model guarantees regulatory approval in every market, since regulators consistently favor domestically developed systems over third-party foundation models.

   Wrong because ownership confers no automatic regulatory approval and provenance still must be demonstrated.
