Which of the following actions is NOT described as taken by many defendants instead of waiting for reforms?

Defendants facing reforms often choose tactics aimed at delaying or softening the impact of those reforms. Expanding operations can be used to show strength and growth, making reforms seem less urgent or necessary. Seeking bankruptcy protection provides a legal pause to reorganize and negotiate from a position of relief, potentially delaying stricter rules. Negotiating settlements resolves issues without triggering new regulatory push or broad policy changes, again buying time. Publishing detailed annual reports, by contrast, centers on transparency and accountability. It’s a governance practice that informs stakeholders and demonstrates compliance, not a tactic to avoid or delay reforms. That’s why it’s not described as something taken instead of waiting for reforms.
