I agree, chloride stress corrosion is a common issue in those setups.

Wait, stress oriented hydrogen induced cracking? Really?

I think it's more likely polythionic acid stress corrosion.

Okay, let me think this through. A should be fine since the assignment from double to float is valid. I'm guessing B and C are the errors, with the invalid float literal and capitalized type name.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about when a CTR (Currency Transaction Report) needs to be filed, so I'll focus on the cash transaction amounts.

I remember similar practice questions where exception generation attacks lead to crashes. That could be a possibility here too, right?
