Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The CareerBuilder survey found that almost one third of managers reported finding false or misleading references, indicating that not all references placed on job résumés are accurate. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect. Option B is also unlikely as companies commonly perform background checks, which would include contacting the candidate's provided references.
