Later, he discovered that Team 13, with three members, also had the same exhibits and charts. He realized that one of the teams had copied from the other.

Later that evening, Aashi from Team 9 called and admitted to sharing exhibits and charts with Aanvi of Team13.

Which of the following actions by Sundaresan is the MOST appropriate?
