1. A traceable record of where each dataset originated and how it changed over time. ✓

   Correct because III.B.2 is about establishing and documenting data lineage and provenance, i.e., origin and transformation history.
2. A ranked list of model risks ordered by their likelihood and their potential severity.

   Plausible but wrong: that describes a harms matrix (III.A.4), not the origin-and-transformation record of data.
3. A standardized summary of the model's intended use and performance limits.

   Almost right because both are documentation, but that is a model card (III.C.1), not data provenance.
4. A schedule stating how often the model is retrained after it is deployed.

   Plausible but wrong: a retraining cadence is a maintenance control (III.C.2), unrelated to data origin tracing.

How to remember it

Data lineage and provenance is a traceable record of each dataset's origin and how it was transformed.
