Maybe the agency's internal control team is too busy moonlighting as professional jugglers, hence the increasing number of audit findings. I'd go with option C and send them a performance review in the form of a circus ticket.

Hmm, the agency's internal control team must be slacking off. I bet they're busy playing Tetris during work hours. Option D is clearly not the right answer here.

The graph shows a clear deterioration in the agency's internal control framework. Option C is the only logical conclusion here. Looks like they need to hire more control freaks, I mean, internal control specialists.

While option B might be true, the overall trend of increasing audit findings indicates that the agency's internal control framework is not as effective as it should be. I would go with option C.

The agency seems to be addressing the audit findings, but the consistent increase in the number of findings over the years suggests there may be some issues with their internal control framework. Option A seems like the appropriate choice here.
