As a customer support agent for a high-end telescope manufacturing company, you receive an email from Dr. Patel regarding a telescope she purchased last month for her university's astronomy department. She mentions that during a critical observation session for their research, one of the research team members deleted the historical data by mistake because the UX was confusing. She shares this feedback with you over email.
            
            What is an appropriate apology?

A. "We are deeply sorry that the historical data got deleted due to confusing UX during such a crucial experiment! It must be extremely frustrating for a team of dedicated researchers."
            
            B. "Our apologies! We truly feel terrible that your team's experiment was disrupted. As a fellow academic, it's disheartening to see your colleagues face such setbacks."
            
            C. "We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience caused by the telescope's confusing UX. That must have been embarrassing for you."
            
            D. "Apologies! We feel awful that your team wasn't able to use the telescope correctly for their experiments. It's fortunate, though, that they have a supportive department head to help them through this."

You work in a children's toy store. One afternoon you notice a customer browsing the store for 15 minutes and looking increasingly annoyed. They approach you, and ask for your help to locate a particular toy the customer wants as a gift for their kid. When you check on your computer, you come to know that the toy is currently out of stock. Which of the following responses would be the most appropriate?

A: Apologize for the toy being out of stock, and suggest that they try kidstoys.com (biggest toy store in city) or another toy store.
            B: Share the toy model number, so that they can search for it quickly at another toy store.
            C: Offer to order the toy for the customer. Share how long this would take, and offer to call them when the toy arrives at the store.
            D: Recommend that they try the biggest branch of your store, which is a 30 min drive away.
