Answer:

c. Uttering.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, Harriet committed uttering of a forged financial document. Uttering is a crime and it refers to using, trading or offering a forged legal document. In this case, the forged legal document was a check, but uttering can also include forging a high school or college diploma and pretending to have graduated from the institution, and any other forging of legal documents.
