I’m torn between A and D. But A feels right. Midwest should oversee their delegates.

Agreed! Vicarious liability makes sense here. They chose Tri-City.

I think it's A) vicarious liability. Midwest is responsible for Tri-City's mistakes.

I definitely recall discussing vicarious liability in relation to healthcare organizations, so I'm leaning towards that answer.
