B) Discuss the issue with the firm's compliance officer as it is of low priority. Compliance? What's that? I'm just here to make money, baby!

I remember a practice question where we had to prioritize compliance issues, and I think discussing it with the compliance officer is important, but it feels like a low priority isn't the right approach here.

I think the analyst should definitely report the issue immediately, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s option D or if there’s a specific protocol to follow first.
