This question is as clear as mud. But hey, at least the auditors aren't asking us to do the actual audit, right? A sounds good to me.

None of these? What, are the auditors just going to show up, shrug their shoulders, and leave? I think A is the clear winner here.

Material misstatement? Nah, that's just the auditors' way of saying 'oops, we messed up' right? I'll go with A.

Yeah, material misstatement is basically when they find errors in the financial statements. I think A sounds more professional though.
