Police entered an Amtrak passenger train during a scheduled stop to look for persons or luggage fitting the local drug courier profile

When they encountered such a bag in an overhead bin, they identified the individual who admitted ownership of the brand new bag. Earlier, one officer lifted the bag and it was unusually heavy. After revoking an earlier consent, the subject exited the train leaving the bag behind as officers tried to talk to him. A drug dog alerted to the bag, but when it was warrantlessly opened, it contained no drugs but only materials to make fake credit cards. The subject had been arrested after the drug dog alert. On these facts A) the bag has not been abandoned because it appeared to be in police custody on the train. B) the bag has not been abandoned because the subject would not be permitted to reenter the train after he left. C) objective facts indicate that the subject left the bag on the train while officers were trying to talk to the subject concerning the bag. D) the bag has been abandoned because most people will not exit a train in the face of police questioning about a suspicious bag unless the individual wants nothing more to do with the bag.
