Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this case Alber Miano had created replica of the invoices and has forged the contractor's signature. The hours of the trade contractors work was changed slightly. Due to the failure of the internal controls Miano was able to indulge in fraudulent activities in a bolder manner.
