The main point here is "Primary" which makes option A the right answer. Option D is not the primary purpose of creating and reporting metrics. While compliance with legal regulations and documenting due diligence are important, the primary purpose of metrics is to measure the effectiveness of the program in changing the behavior of the workforce.

I dont see how it is A - how would taking metrics measure the impact the training had already had.
