Option B? 'Accident'? Come on, Rachel, we all know you're not that clumsy with the fraud. Own up to it and give Linda the whole nine yards!

This is a no-brainer. Rachel's not getting off the hook that easily. Confession time, no excuses allowed!

Haha, 'accident'? Yeah, right. Rachel's not going to fool Linda the CFE with that one. Gotta go with C on this one.

I agree, the confession is the key here. No need to give Rachel a way out by asking about it being an accident. Let's go for the full scoop on the fraud!

Option B is definitely the one to avoid. We need to get a clear admission of guilt, not excuses. The other options are spot on for gathering the crucial details.
