I could be wrong, but I think D makes the most sense because competitors don’t have a direct relationship with the accountant.

I think the answer might be D, since competitors aren't really part of the accountability structure.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The most important benefit is that the customer knows you understand how they feel. That's the core of good customer service.
