is a high priority: This is the correct choice. Susie says that "we must get that monkey back at all costs". Her use of the term "must" indicates the obligation or necessity of the company to recover Giuseppe. Furthermore, she uses the expression "at all costs", which means "in any way possible, or "at any price". Here the idiom indicates the importance of obtaining Giuseppe. "At all costs" shares a similar meaning with the expression "by any means necessary" and can express a financial sense as well as a figurative one.
