Reviewing the customer's wire activity to determine whether the request is typical.

Calling the customer at the phone number on record to validate the request.

Replying to the customer via email to validate the sender and request.

Reviewing the customer record to verify whether the customer has authorized wire requests from that email address.

Correct Answer: B
