B) Claiming Delta's action was for altruistic reasons. So, the interviewer is trying to make Delta feel like a hero for stealing to support his family. Nice try, but I don't think that's going to hold up in court.

D) Establishing that Delta's family was being treated unfairly. Wait, does this mean Delta's family was the real victim here? Talk about a plot twist!

That's a tough one. I guess the correct answer is B, but I wouldn't want to be in Delta's shoes. Fraud is no joke, even if it was for the family.

I think option B is correct. Beta is trying to make Delta feel like they did it for a good reason.
