I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like low transaction volumes would actually make offshoring less effective, so maybe B is wrong.

Okay, let's see. I know offshoring is often done to reduce costs, so I'm guessing the answer has something to do with the financial aspects. I'll eliminate the options that don't seem to fit that angle.

This question seems straightforward - I think the key is to identify the conditions that make offshoring successful. I'll review the options carefully and go with the one that best fits that criteria.
