Clarence has taken the most appropriate and ethical step by getting written approval from the photographer and preserving it. This ensures that he has legal permission to use the photograph and can prove it if any issues arise in the future. Mentioning the photographer's name in the report shows that he is giving credit to the original creator of the photograph. The other options are also good ethical practices, but they do not provide the same level of proof of permission as getting written approval.

Increasing the number of products, offering discounts, and providing payment options may also attract more visitors to the website, but it may not necessarily improve its ranking in search results.
