Which was vs. which is
A. I authored one of the internal controls of the department, which was the book vs. physical inventory control.
B. I authored one of the internal controls of the department, which is the book vs. physical inventory control.
1. Which of the sentences above is correct?
2. If both are OK, what is the difference?
3. Does using "was" in A means the control is no longer in place?
4. Does using "is" in B means the control is still in place currently?
5. If there's no difference, would you prefer A over B for tense matching with "authored"?
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.
