I recall a practice question that emphasized understanding the current state before making any plans. So, I lean towards option C as well.

I think the first step should be to understand why the profit margins are eroding. It seems like we need to diagnose the problem before jumping to solutions.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about gathering requirements first. Maybe option B is the way to go?

Whoa, this is a lot of information to digest. I better re-read the question and options a few times to make sure I understand the nuances between the different clone types. Don't want to mess this one up.
