Ugh, why does this question have to be so complicated? I just want a simple answer. I guess I'll have to go with Option C, since it seems the most straightforward. But who knows, maybe Rio's architects are a bunch of rebels and will ignore the controls no matter what.

Haha, Option E is hilarious. Hiring more staff to implement internal controls? Yeah, right, that's not happening in this economy. Rio's probably already trying to keep costs down, not add to the payroll.

I'm gonna have to go with Option B. Employees can be pretty good at finding ways around new rules, especially if they don't see the point. Good luck getting them to follow the controls, am I right?

Hmm, I don't know. Option D kind of makes sense to me. These architects are probably already swamped, so adding more bureaucracy could slow them down. Maybe Rio should just let them do their thing, you know?

That's true, Rio needs to make sure everyone understands the importance of following the controls.

Option C is clearly the correct answer. If the boss doesn't back the internal controls, they won't work. I mean, come on, the staff won't just ignore the controls, right? That's just silly.
