Wait, why would we assume one approach is better? Need more info first!

I wonder if finding examples, as in option B, would really help the CIO make a decision. It seems a bit indirect, though.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this where stakeholder analysis was crucial. Option D might be the way to go.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think documenting resources and savings, like in option A, could also be a valid response.

I remember we discussed the importance of gathering costs and benefits for decision-making. Option C seems to align with that approach.

Confidentiality, got it. This is a straightforward information security question, just need to remember the three core principles - confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Can't go wrong with C on this one.

Okay, this is a tricky one. Tackling technical debt can be complex, but reducing coupling and cycles is definitely a solid starting point. I'll make sure to analyze the codebase thoroughly and look for opportunities to decouple components.
