Answer Details

Option C, "in the long run" is the correct answer. The phrase "in the long run" means eventually or over time, and is used to suggest that something may not be immediately beneficial, but will be in the future. In the context of the sentence, it implies that the corrupt bank manager's arrest and conviction will ultimately lead to a positive outcome, such as a reduction in corruption and an improvement in the bank's operations. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence and are grammatically incorrect.
