External review is described as review by someone outside the agency that made the decision.

• A. External review
• B. Internal review
• C. Ombudsman review
• D. Administrative review

Answer: (A)

External review means a decision is examined by someone not connected to the agency that made it. This outside reviewer—such as an independent tribunal or a court—brings an impartial perspective to check fairness and legality beyond the original decision-maker. That contrast with internal review, which is handled by staff within the same agency and can lack outside scrutiny. While ombudsman reviews are a type of external oversight, the broad idea described fits external review most directly.
