This seems like a straightforward question about corporate strategies. I'm pretty confident I can identify the correct answer here.

This is a tricky one. I know Docker can handle microsegmentation and multi-tenancy, but the policy-based part is throwing me off. I'm going to have to guess on this one - maybe B?

Okay, let's see. The question says the messages are being sent by Service A, and the digital signatures confirm this. So the problem must be with Service A's own logic, not the third-party services. I'm leaning towards option C.

Asset stripping, definitely. The company's being gutted and its parts sold off. Seems like a pretty ruthless strategy to me.

Asset stripping for sure. The company is being broken up and its assets sold off to the highest bidder. Not very friendly for the employees, I imagine.

Asset stripping can be quite ruthless, but it's all about maximizing value for the shareholders.

I agree, it's definitely not a friendly strategy for the employees. They are usually the ones who suffer the most in these situations.

This is a classic case of asset stripping. The company is being taken over and its assets sold off, rather than being kept running.

I'd go with 'B' - asset stripping. The company is being broken up and its assets sold, rather than being kept as a going concern.

Asset stripping makes sense in this scenario, maximizing value through selling off assets.

Asset stripping seems like the obvious choice here. The company's assets are being sold off to maximize value, rather than being run as a going concern.
