Following up with a short thank-you note is the most professional and courteous option, and can strengthen the interviewer's impression of you and their interest in hiring you. Option A is inappropriate, as having a friend call is unprofessional and may annoy the employer. Option B is too pushy and may come across as desperate, and including a second copy of your résumé is unnecessary. Option D is also unprofessional and assumes the worst case scenario, and option E is dishonest and can damage your reputation.
