Answer: (D)

Under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, cleared contractor employees are held to the security policies that govern safeguarding classified information. Violations of any NISPOM policy can trigger disciplinary actions because maintaining the integrity of the security program depends on consistent compliance. Sanctions can include administrative actions within the contractor’s organization, loss or suspension of clearance, removal from programs, contract termination, or referrals for legal action if the conduct raises criminal concerns. This framework ensures accountability for anyone with access to sensitive information. So the statement is true.
