I'd go with C. Perjury is a serious charge, and it might just be the wake-up call George needs to start telling the truth.

A? Really? Arguing with the suspect until they give up? That's like trying to fight fire with fire - it's just going to make things worse.

B sounds like a good idea. Interrupting the denial with a delaying tactic could throw George off and give you an opportunity to regroup.
