Credit approval and assertions- confusing wording

    So the MCQ I’m talking about goes like this:

    An auditor tests an entity’s policy of obtaining credit approval before shipping goods to customers in support of management’s financial statement assertion of:

    A. valuation and allocation.

    B. completeness.

    C. existence.

    D. rights and obligations.

    So the answer is A. I picked D because I thought it was the entity’s credit instead of the customer’s. The question makes it sound like the business is checking their own credit. From what I understand, valuation is about what belongs to someone else and rights/obligations is about what the business has. Was anyone else confused by the wording?
