Last night, Cyndi was watching television with some friends in a small lounge in the dorm when another student, Martin, came in and demanded that they leave so Martin and his friends could use the space. Cyndi and her friends refused to leave, and, after some arguing, the resident assistant came down the hall and intervened. Martin was told to leave, and the matter appeared to be settled. When Cyndi went out to her car the next morning, though, she found that it had been vandalized with racial slurs spray-painted on it. She is fairly certain that Martin is responsible. What would be the MOST appropriate course of action for Cyndi to take?

A) Report the incident to campus security.
B) Vandalize Martin's car in retaliation.
C) Ignore the incident and just have her car cleaned up.
D) Confront Martin and demand that he pay for the damage.

Racial Slurs

Offensive or derogatory terms directed towards someone based on their race or ethnicity, often intended to demean or insult.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Reporting the incident to campus security is the most appropriate and effective course of action. It ensures that the incident is officially documented and investigated, potentially leading to appropriate disciplinary actions against the perpetrator. Retaliation, ignoring the issue, or confronting the suspected individual could escalate the situation or fail to address the underlying problem.
