The correct answer is letter "A": arrest record.

Explanation:

Employers tend to request applicants proof of the information they are providing in their resumes. Some information could be confirmed by the employer such as the last place where the applicant worked by calling that company and asking for further details. However, criminal records can only be verified with a Police Clearance Certificate and a Criminal Background Check. Law enforcement agencies can provide this document and is a must for the company to confirm the applicant is not involved or was not involved in activities that could harm the organization.
