What to do following a near miss

In the format of the Air Law exam, answer the following hypothetical question.

Q. You enter a CTR (D) in your light twin misreporting your position so as to save time. After a thorough investigation the local aviation administration exonerates all other parties and takes you to court for causing a near miss with a departing 737, should you:

A. Ring up the tower and threaten them with your lawyer.

B. Take up another hobby to which you are more suited.

C. Make a retaliatory police complaint against the Captain of the 737.

D. Start saving for a hefty fine.

Supplementary question: For pilots answering that A. and C. are both the right way to react, should this have any impact on how the court might treat them?
