After the yacht explosion, why can't Alex and Zoe go with Lina and Yadi to investigate locations?

• A. They are persons of interest in a federal investigation
• B. They are not allowed to leave the county
• C. They have a prior engagement
• D. They are in quarantine

Answer: (A)

Being a person of interest in a federal investigation means these individuals are suspected or have information related to the incident, and their involvement could influence the investigation. If Alex and Zoe accompanied the investigators, it could bias what is looked for, reveal investigative plans, or create opportunities to interfere with witnesses or evidence. Keeping potential suspects separate helps preserve objectivity and the integrity of the search. The other reasons require extra, unstated circumstances (like travel bans, prior commitments, or quarantine), which aren’t indicated in the scenario.
