I recall transaction cost theory being important, but it seems more relevant to cost management than to core competences. D feels off to me.

I think the key here is that the company uses a hot-site, disaster-recovery model. That means they need a data replication method that can quickly restore their systems in the event of a disaster. I'm leaning towards Asynchronous as the best option.
