I feel like it could also be A, "Invest in a corporation," because sometimes people invest to avoid change in their own lives. But I lean towards B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question about organizational behavior that suggested peer pressure can lead to resistance. So maybe B is right?

I'm leaning towards B as well. The examples suggest people might resist change or new situations due to those psychological factors. It's a logical connection, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by considering the transaction log and JMS store options, since that's key for replication between sites. Then I'll look at the high availability features within each data center.
