Open-ended questions can be tricky; C might just be avoiding the real issue.

Wait, all invoices were supported? Sounds too good to be true.

Watching C without her knowing? That's a bit sneaky, but it could work!

I think D's sample checks are misleading if C's not actually doing her job.

C's supposed to check every invoice? That's a lot of responsibility!

I think we practiced a similar question where the focus was on the importance of actual checks versus just appearances. It makes me lean towards option A being a false assurance as well.

I feel like option D could be tricky too. Just because C checked the invoices while D was watching doesn’t mean she does that all the time. It feels like a setup.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if D just asked C open-ended questions without probing deeper, like in option B, that could also lead to misleading conclusions about her checks.

I remember we discussed how just checking for signatures might not be enough to ensure proper checks were done. So, option C seems like it could give a false sense of assurance.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question about Active Directory. I'm pretty confident I can handle this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know there are different types of cryptography, but I can't quite remember the differences between them. I'll have to think this through carefully.
