Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The altered information tactic involves presenting altered or exaggerated information to the suspect in hopes that they will correct it, thereby revealing what they know or don't know. This can be an effective way to detect deception, as it puts the suspect in a position where they feel compelled to correct the misinformation, potentially revealing truths in the process.
