Wait, which one was it again? /var or /usr? I'm drawing a blank on the specifics of system directory structure. Gonna have to think this through carefully.

/var, that's the one! I remember learning about that in class. It's the directory used for files and data that change while the system is running. Confident I've got this one.

Okay, I think the key here is to look for the principle that encourages cross-functional collaboration and information sharing, which would help break down silos. So I'm leaning towards C as well.
