Correct Answer
C. Someone can fill out the check and write it for as much as they wish

Explanation
If you sign a blank cheque, it means that you have given someone else the authority to fill out the details of the cheque, including the amount, and write it for any desired amount. This is risky because the person who possesses the cheque can potentially misuse it by filling out a large amount, leading to financial loss for you. It is important to never sign a blank cheque and always fill out the necessary details before signing it to ensure control over your finances.

Writing checks without having the correct amount of money can lead to legal consequences. It is considered a form of fraud and can result in charges such as check fraud or issuing a bad check.
