Correct answer: B — Correct the register entry with a dated, attributable amendment that preserves the original entry

CD register corrections must be made so the original entry remains legible and the amendment is attributable and dated. The running balance should be corrected according to SOP. Erasing, deleting without audit trail or removing pages undermines record integrity. The physical balance should also be checked and discrepancies investigated.
