Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

In the context of the fraud triangle, the condition where a vice president's unquestioned authority enabled the theft of funds is best described as 'opportunity.' Opportunity refers to the circumstances that allow fraud to occur, including the ability to override controls or exploit a lack of oversight. This is one of the three elements of the fraud triangle, which also includes rationalization and pressure.
