Letter b is correct. Misappropriate the incoming check related to returned goods and deposit the check in a bank account other than the company's.

Explanation:

A pay-and-return scheme is a scheme where an employee intentionally defrays a payment amount from a vendor, increasing that expense and reimbursing the excess amount of that payment. It can also be performed on a dual payment scheme to a vendor, and after the employee reports the error to the vendor and gets a check back, he can refund the amount.
