Correct answer: A — Make a dated correction that remains auditable without obliterating the original entry

CD register records must remain auditable and should not be erased or obliterated. Errors should be corrected with a dated note or annotation according to legal and professional requirements. Accurate records support accountability and safe controlled drug management. The correct stock balance does not remove the need to correct the entry.
