Correct answer: C — Do not return it to stock until stability is confirmed

Cold-chain breaches require quarantine and stability assessment before supply. In this vignette, "Do not return it to stock until stability is confirmed" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
