解释：

B is correct. Compliance practices are crucial aspects of due diligence, and investors need to ensure that hedge funds have robust compliance procedures in place, either through an in-house function or an outsourced arrangement. A is incorrect. Due diligence should encompass assessing the qualifications of all personnel involved in the fund's operations, not just the investment team. C is incorrect. Verification with the fund's law firm regarding responsibility for the content of fund documents is an essential step in due diligence. D is incorrect. Due diligence includes investigating a fund's relationships with third-party service providers to assess operational risks and dependencies.
