First the video, then the options:

This clip was originally shared by the Trump War Room account and lacks the context of what led to this question.

A charitable person might say the chief was confused by or disagreed with the framing of the question, which was, in essence, asking if she now reports to AG Pam Bondi.

But others might wonder why she quickly stepped aside for the mayor to answer after the question confused her.

In that case, a person might deduce that the chief of police for the nation's capital doesn't know what the phrase "chain of command" means.

If that is true, considering all police forces and militaries in the English-speaking world use that phrase routinely and it is widely used in the common vernacular, someone might wonder how she ever got promoted into such a lucrative, important job.
