Answer Option D <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

d) as the type of audit methods and sampling methods are confidential from the auditee. The audit should maintain an element of surprise, methodology should change from one year to the next, utilising alternative audit procedures.

Answer D) since you can't give a description of the sample method before beginning your assignment.

For the limitation of audit, if you mean by it the specification of the  kind of assignment (assurance report or other reports..) then it shall be included in the "The responsabilities of the auditor" paragraph.
