Answer:

B) An inventory manager filling an order noticed that many of the chips were missing

Explanation:

The text book case explained that Larry was discovered by the inventory manager, but what really is troubling is not that he was able to steal the chips since bad things can happen, but that they happened several times. This means that the company's controls are extremely deficient and it wasn't so difficult to bypass them. If the inventory manager didn't discover Larry's crimes, then an auditor should have discover them. But that is no excuse, if the company knows that the chips are very valuable they should enforce stricter controls to prevent future incidents.
