Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
It is inappropriate for a social worker to disclose case information when consulting with friends about case strategies as friends are not professionally bound to confidentiality. A social worker can disclose case information when seeking supervision, if a signed release form is part of agency records, or if a client presents a risk to themselves or someone else.
