Heaven's hope was written in the stars, Before the mark of time

Management Accounting Mid-sem test MCQ5:

Annie is a CPA and an accountant for A Bank. B Constructions Pty. Ltd. is one of the bank's clients and Annie is aware that this company is currently facing financial difficulties. At a wedding party, Annie met a friend who told her that she was going to invest in B Constructions Pty. Ltd. Annie decided not to let her friend know about the company's financial difficulties because she was in a bad mood. Which of the following is correct:
A) Annie had not breached any ethical issue as none of her family members were harmed by her decision. (o.O)
B) insert-random-smart-sounding-answer-that-I-can't-remember
C) insert-random-smart-sounding-answer-that-I-can't-remember
D) Annie had not breached the ethical issue of client confidentiality as she had not disclosed any information to her friend regarding the company's difficulties.
E) Annie should not have friends.
Easiest. Question. Ever.
I actually snickered out loud at this question without realising it (hence the funny look from mr guy-next-to-me who seemed to be having trouble with his paper). Unfortunately, the rest of the paper wasn't quite so entertaining =(.
