"Do" and "Build" just don't fit together.

I practiced a question like this before, and I think "Lease" was mentioned, but it doesn't sound quite right for this context.

I feel like "Procure" could fit too, but I can't recall if we specifically covered that option.

I remember "make, do or build" being a common phrase, so maybe "Build" is the right choice?

I think the answer might be "Buy," but I'm not entirely sure. We discussed similar questions in class.
