Haha, this question is a piece of cake! The answer has to be C) Zero-based budgeting. It's like Amethyst is saying, 'Show me the money, or you ain't gettin' any!'

I'm not too sure about this one, but I think B) Top-down budgeting might be the correct answer. Amethyst seems to be taking a more centralized approach to budgeting, which is typical of top-down budgeting.

Obviously, the correct answer is C) Zero-based budgeting. Amethyst's approach of requiring each line of business to justify its continued operation and allocation of resources aligns perfectly with the principles of zero-based budgeting.
