The correct option for a case where is required "brand or equal" is the following:

Option A) "Shifts responsibility for establishing equality or superiority to the bidder"

Explanation:

When a "brand or equal" is required by the specifiers, they are putting the responsibility on the bidder side to find an equal or superior specifications item as required. They must provide enough evidence to the offeror that they are finding the right item or brand as required.
