Performing background checks on several applicants in an interview pool can become costly fast. Background checks cost money, and it's their job to protect their company's assets.

Best to be honest and offer everything that might come up on a background check. If you're not sure what to list off, research everything and anything that might come up, and see if any of those items apply to you. Better to save them the money, and yourself the time you'd invest waiting to hear back.
