Answer

Brief Explanations:

In an ethical - work context, confronting Ryan about lying doesn't address the theft issue. Asking Jeff about reporting to authorities doesn't take direct action. Ignoring the situation is unethical. Telling Ryan about the lie is not the most pressing matter. Telling Jeff to report the issue to supervisors along with you is the most ethical next - step as it involves proper channels to address the alleged theft.

Answer:

Tell Jeff it's best to report this issue to the supervisors, along with you.
