Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Maybe the auditor can flip a coin to decide? Or better yet, ask the auditee to do it - that's their problem now!

D is my pick. Benchmarking the deficient area is a smart move to get the plan on the right track.

I believe D is not the best choice because suggesting benchmarking may not address the specific deficiencies in the plan.

B sounds good to me. Escalating it to the next level of management will ensure the plan gets the attention it deserves.
