All three options are mentioned in the recording, however, you need to look for his main purpose. + The applicant says that his trip to Australia is mainly because he wants to looking for business opportunities. So B must be the correct answer.+ A is incorrect as it can be inferred from the applicant’s answer that he also would like to go sightseeing but it is not the main purpose of his trip.+ C is incorrect because the applicant says that he has no intention to work in Australia.
