A is about sales and purchases, but C is where the real risk lies!

This is a tricky one. I'm not entirely familiar with the ECE platform, so I'll have to make an educated guess. I'll select TSMS and Courtesy Callback and hope for the best.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with AnalyticDB, so I'll have to think this through. Let me try to recall what I know about its features and capabilities.

I'm a bit stuck on this one. The wording is throwing me off, and I'm not entirely sure what they're asking. I'll have to re-read it a few times and try to break it down logically.
