b. Forged endorsement

Explanation:

Forged endorsement as it write the check with a forge a sign to endorse it on his favor (covert check for her own use) This makes impossible for the firm to pay their account through those checks as Vicky is the person receiving his value.

The company should rotate the check signers or separate the duties of check preparating and check signing.
