Answer
- D I lodge an objection (Widerspruch) with the authority.
Explanation
You lodge an objection (Widerspruch) to an incorrect decision of an authority with that authority, usually within one month. It must then review the case again. Leaving it or sending it back does not help: the decision becomes effective after the deadline. For tax assessments, the legal remedy is called an objection (Einspruch).
