You make a good point, Lucy. It's important to consider all aspects, so C) is also a valid answer.

But shouldn't internal audit program also support company objectives and evaluate performance? That's why I think C) is also important.

Wait, what? They're not considering 'taking ownership of the company itself' as an option? Missed opportunity if you ask me!

Hmm, C seems a bit too narrow. Audits should evaluate more than just company performance - they should assess risks, controls, and compliance too.

Option A is a bit too much - the internal audit program should be independent, not take ownership of the quality assurance program. That's a conflict of interest!
