Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Deposit lapping.

Step-by-step explanation:

Deposit lapping is the fraudulent act in which an individual alters accounts receivables -typically in the form of checks, to cover transactions for cash that has been stolen. The individual takes the following account receivable to cover the theft over and over for as many times as he wishes.
