Federal Agent Smith has been investigating a group believed to be agents of a foreign power involved in international terrorism. Agent Smith discovered that this group has been involved in three prior plots to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the United States, but in each incidence their contacts failed to deliver the weapons.

Assuming everything else in the application is done properly, it should be:
A) Granted; FISA warrants can be issued for 90 days but Wiretap warrants cannot exceed 30 days.
B) Granted; both FISA warrants and Wiretap Act warrants can be issued for 90 days.
C) Denied; neither FISA warrants nor Wiretap warrants can be issued for more than 30 days.
