Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
An ERP system with role-based access control directly enforces segregation of duties by restricting each user to only the functions and data necessary for their role, thereby supporting internal controls over financial reporting as required by the FRCN. EIS and DSS are analytical tools that do not inherently enforce access segregation, and GDSS is designed for collaborative group decision-making.
