As a strong critical thinker, it is important to test the validity of the second reason that Chris provided, since the first reason was irrelevant. The other options are not appropriate - making up another reason is not valid, dismissing the second reason without testing it is premature, stopping trust in Chris for one mistake is not fair, and taking the claim on faith without adequate evidence is not rational.
