Option D? Really? That's like a doctor saying 'Neither broken bones nor internal bleeding are relevant to my consideration of the patient's injuries.' Ridiculous!

Haha, this is a no-brainer! If the auditor isn't considering both A and B, they might as well be wearing a clown nose and juggling while they do the audit.
