Option D makes sense too. Architects are all about creativity and speed. Internal controls could really slow them down and frustrate the whole team.

Haha, Option E is a classic. Internal controls always mean more bureaucracy and red tape. Rio's architects will be pulling their hair out if he hires a whole team of control freaks!

I think Option C is also a good answer. If Rio doesn't support the controls, his employees won't take them seriously, and the whole system will fall apart.

Option B is the correct answer. Employees can easily ignore internal controls if they don't see the value in them. Rio needs to get buy-in from his team for the controls to be effective.
