The correct response, I read they might be having money problems, directly answers Tom's question, Why do you ask? It provides a clear reason for bringing up the topic of TechCorp possibly going out of business.
When someone asks Why do you ask?, they are looking for a specific explanation or context for your question.
Other examples of responses to Why do you ask? could include:
I saw something about it in the news.
I heard someone mention it in a meeting.
These responses provide the necessary context and keep the conversation focused on the original question.
