Solution
The best control to mitigate the risk of incorrect items and quantities being picked in the warehouse function in the revenue and receipts cycle would be option b. "Warehouse clerk to check goods picked against the picking slip."
Here's why:

b. Warehouse clerk to check goods picked against the picking slip. This control directly addresses the risk of incorrect items and quantities being picked. The warehouse clerk can verify each item and its quantity against the picking slip, ensuring that the correct items and quantities are picked.
c. Delivery notes and picking slips to be matched and filed numerically. This control is more about record keeping and does not directly address the risk of incorrect items and quantities being picked.
d. The invoice clerk should compare the details on the internal sales order and delivery notes.
