Ooh, trick question! I bet the answer is A) Release - merchants want to release shoplifters, not keep them confined. Though I guess C) Detention could work too. This is a head-scratcher!

I'm going with C) Detention. Merchants need to be able to hold on to shoplifters until the authorities arrive, so that's the most appropriate concept.

Haha, D) None of the above? What kind of answer is that? Merchants definitely need a way to deal with shoplifters, and I think C) Detention is the best option here.

Hmm, I'm torn between A) Release and C) Detention. Merchants want to release shoplifters, but they also need to detain them. This is a tough one!

I think the best option is C) Detention. It's important to keep shoplifters in custody until the authorities arrive.

I believe the correct answer is C) Detention, as it relates to holding someone temporarily for questioning or investigation.

I'm not sure, but I think confinement could also be a possible answer.

I agree with Dorinda, because detention involves holding someone for a short period of time to investigate.

D) None of the above? Really? That's way too vague. I'm going with C) Detention - that's the term that best describes what merchants do to protect their assets.

I think the answer is B) Confinement. Merchants need to find ways to protect their property and detain potential shoplifters, so this seems like the most relevant concept.
