The duty of competence can be breached by which of the following actions?

  b. Including incorrect information in a legal document

Question 2

Linda and Karen, both paralegals for the same attorney in a small general practice office, are riding home from work together on the bus. During their ride, they discuss a client who was in the office that day seeking to file for divorce.
 
  The client, who works in their building, is someone whom they have known for a
  long time, and they are shocked. What they don't know is that the client's wife is
  sitting in the seat behind them. The client's wife learns of the divorce and
  successfully hides 200,000 from a bank account so that it cannot be located
  and divided up as part of the property settlement. Once the divorce is final, the
  client says to his wife, You must have known that I was planning to divorce you
  or you wouldn't have been able to hide that money. Without admitting that she
  hid the money, the client's wife says, If you're so upset about losing the
  200,000, why don't you sue your attorney and those two big mouths who work
  for him and ride my bus? Which of the following actions can the client take?
  a. Seek to have a disciplinary action brought against the attorney for violation of
  the rule of client confidentiality
  b. Bring a malpractice lawsuit against the attorney and his two paralegals
  c. Demand that the attorney pay him the 200,000 and fire his paralegals
  d. All of these choices are correct
