D. Limit test

Explanation:

A limit test is a technique used in checking the reasonableness of a particular transaction. The control procedure that will be best used to check the reasonableness of the transaction which is the weekly payroll is a limit test. A limit test ensures that a numerical value does not in any way exceeds that of a predetermined value. It uses upper and lower limits.
