Wait, can you really just ignore it? Seems risky.

Ignoring the conflict seems really risky, but I wonder if some people might actually choose that option if they think it won't affect the outcome.

I feel like requesting a formal mediation process could be a good way to handle it, but I can't recall if that's a common practice in these situations.

I remember practicing a question about conflicts of interest, and I think avoiding interference with the investigation is crucial, but it feels a bit vague.

I think disclosing the conflict to the client or employer is really important, but I'm not sure if that's the best option here.

Easy, just avoid letting the conflict interfere. Option B is the way to go - keep the investigation objective.

Ignoring the conflict and moving forward? That doesn't seem right. I'll steer clear of option D and focus on the other choices.

C is the obvious choice. Disclose it and let the client or employer decide how to proceed. Besides, trying to hide it would be like wearing a neon sign that says 'I'm untrustworthy'.
