Solution

The negative form of accounts receivable confirmation request is not particularly useful when a large number of small balances are involved. This is because it would be inefficient and time-consuming to send out confirmation requests for many small balances. The negative confirmation request is more suitable when individual account balances are relatively large, internal control is effective, and the auditor believes the persons receiving the request are likely to give them consideration. Therefore, the correct answer is c. A large number of small balances are involved.
