Maximus Kemp · Answer 1

Option C

Explanation:

Nell actions are illegal and he is lucky Al didn't report to the police his motive towards Sarah. He has no evidence against Al if he takes the case to court only if he does he is implicating himself.

Nell can't accuse Al, so he can't also get his money back or force Al to do what was promised, so option C is the best truth to the scenario above.
