Selected Answer: C
Answer C - In an admission-seeking interview, when the subject denies the accusation, it is a best practice to use a delaying tactic to allow the denial to subside and to maintain control of the conversation. Instead of directly challenging the denial, which could escalate tension or make the subject more defensive, the fraud examiner can redirect or pause the conversation temporarily to regain control, allowing for a more thoughtful approach to continuing the interview.
