Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scope limitation in audit means circumstances hindering an auditor from carrying out his duties according to the audit procedure. A scope limitation can make an auditor issue a qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion depending on the materiality of the issue.

Back to the question, a scope limitation sufficient to preclude an unqualified opinion always will result when management refuses to provide a representation letter acknowledging its responsibility for the fair presentation of the financial statements in conformity with General Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP)
