Explanation:

Background checks are the standard method businesses use to verify job application/resumé information, as they systematically confirm details like employment history, education, and credentials. The other options (questioning applicants, interviewing former coworkers, hiring private investigators) are either less systematic, not primary verification methods, or overly specialized for routine checks.
