B) 1 and 4 only is the way to go. Anything else is like trying to maintain a machine without paying the workers.

Haha, option C) 3 and 4 only? That's like trying to sell a broken product and expecting a warranty to cover it.

I think I've got this one figured out. The key costs to consider are the direct labor required for maintenance and repair, as well as the utilities needed to run the equipment. The other options about product costs and warranties are not as directly relevant.
