Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to select the audit response that best supports sufficient appropriate evidence, professional skepticism, and proper reporting for the audit documentation scenario.

Explanation

The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
