Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The question is presenting a hypothetical situation to assess the candidate's behaviour and problem-solving ability. This is a characteristic of a situational interview. The question is not designed to intentionally stress the candidate (stress interview) or limit their response options (closed-ended interview). The question is also not explicitly asking about the candidate's past behaviour (behavioural interview).
