Kate · Answer 1

Letter B is correct

Explanation:

Segregation of duties occurs when duties and responsibilities are separated between employees of an organization. There are functions within a company where segregation is most common, usually in positions that require special permits, approvals, reviews, and registrations which is what happens in the matter. It is used to prevent conflicts between personal interests, mistakes and fraud.
