He confides in his best friend that he had two beers before getting into the car, and that he may not have had as much control over the car as he should have. Which of the following statement made by Matt, his friend, would decrease Harry's trust in Matt?
 
  a. Wow, that's lucky that nothing happened to you. I am really glad that you did not wreck the car and yourself
  b. Man, you should have known that you mustn't drive after drinking. How irresponsible of you
  c. Man, that's crazy. Well, something similar happened to me just a month ago. Get this
  d. Wow. So, do you think you are going to tell your dad about the incident? Or is it some secret? Just checking
