I'm going with C - a simple return process. Emily shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get her money back. Hey, ShopSmart, how about hiring a team of superheroes to deliver the refunds? That would be a fun way to make it up to the customers!

Emily deserves a full refund, no questions asked. ShopSmart needs to step up their game on the sizing front. Maybe they should consider hiring a team of fashion experts to double-check their charts. Or just have the models try on everything, that might work too.

Definitely C - a hassle-free return process. Emily should be able to send that dress back without any fuss. And maybe ShopSmart can throw in a free coupon for their next online shopping spree, just to sweeten the deal. Who doesn't love a little retail therapy?
