I lean towards option A as well, but I wonder if flow restrictors are really the best choice compared to other options.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think compostable toilets might be too expensive to implement everywhere.

I'm not sure, but I feel like installing subsurface cisterns is more of a long-term investment than a low-cost strategy.

I think option A sounds familiar, like something we discussed in class about simple upgrades for water efficiency.

The compostable toilets seem like they could be a low-cost solution, but I'm not sure if that's considered a "water efficiency" strategy. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'd have to think through the different water efficiency strategies and their costs. Maybe I'll come back to this one if I have time at the end.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think installing new flush valves or flow restrictors would be the low-cost option here.

Installing new flush valves or flow restrictors sounds like the most budget-friendly option compared to the other choices. That's my best guess for the low-cost strategy.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know SCCM tracks usage data, but I can't quite remember what specific data points are imported for reclamation. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Ah, this is a good test of my Scrum knowledge. I'm confident I know the core Scrum artifacts - Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and the Increment. So the one that's not a Scrum artifact must be User Stories, since those are part of the Product Backlog. Easy peasy!

I was practicing similar questions, and I think Cookie Consistency links to session management. But does it really help with PII?

I feel like if each issue type has a different security level, that could definitely make a case for separate workflows; I just hope I'm remembering it correctly!

Subsurface cisterns sound cool, but the cost of installation is probably too high for a 'low-cost' strategy.
