Before going to court, the company must exhaust all possible administrative remedies, meaning it must go through all the available administrative processes within the agency before seeking judicial review. This is typically required by law and it allows the agency to address any concerns or objections before going to court. Refusing to comply with the agency decision (A) can lead to penalties and fines, petitioning other interested parties (B) may not be relevant or effective, and publishing opposition in the Federal Register (D) is not a necessary step in pursuing judicial review.
