Hi @Gabe85, @Josh_Roman, @liwenong28, and @fdaniel,

Happy to help!

Answer choice (B) is incorrect because the author is discussing interviewing witnesses, not suspects.

Answer choice (C) is correct because (dis)confirming alibis is presented as something that may result from an effective interview with an eyewitness who provides lots of information.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Got it, thank you! I think I assumed the witness was also a suspect. This makes sense, thanks!
