   A consortium blockchain used for cross-border trade finance is governed by a hybrid model. On-chain voting is used for protocol parameters, while off-chain discussions happen in a member forum. A proposal to change the consensus validator set has been approved on-chain, but the forum discussion revealed that two of the largest member banks have conflicting regulatory requirements. What is the most appropriate next step?

   • AOverride the on-chain vote and keep the current validator set unchanged indefinitely.
   • BAllow each bank to opt out of the new validator set while the rest of the network proceeds.
   • CImplement the on-chain decision immediately, as it is the final governance authority.
   • DPause the implementation and convene an off-chain working group to reconcile the regulatory conflicts before proceeding.
