To me it could be (a) or (b), but I would go for (a) because authorisation is usually used as a step needed before a transaction is allowed to proceed.

the answer given is b.

Don’t worry too much about it. There are always seom MCQs that can be debated. At least we didn’t go for c or d!

Lol, I think the keyword in the question was “accountant SIGNS”, so ‘b’ would be a more appropriate answer.
