Ah, I think I've got it! The correct answer must be C, since the question is specifically about the role of classes in setting up the map output compression method. I'm feeling confident about this one.

I like the idea of replicating the identity database used by the new identity management system. That seems like it could be a straightforward way to meet the requirements without introducing too much complexity.

Wasn't there something about the impact on interest cover? I'm not totally confident, but with more debt after the bond issue, it might not increase much.
