Selected Answer: C

In this scenario, because the total amount of counterfeit funds discovered by Ms. Redmond is less than $25,000 and there is no indication of criminal activity by any employee or customer, there is no requirement to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). SARs are typically required for transactions involving $5,000 or more in funds suspected to be derived from illegal activities. However, if there were any suspicion of illegal activity or involvement of specific individuals, a SAR might be necessary. But in this case, with no such suspicion, filing a SAR is not required.
