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.

What would be the MOST appropriate course of action for Cyndi to take?

• 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.
