Haha, B is just a random buzzword thrown in there to distract us. Nice try, but I'm not falling for that one!

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with A. Keeping the management team motivated and engaged is key after a divestment.

C is just plain silly. Why would the original company care about their relationship with the MBO team if they're selling to a private equity firm?

B is a bit out of left field. Big data has nothing to do with whether the company should choose an MBO or private equity sale.

D seems like the best option to me. The synergistic benefits of the MBO should result in a higher price for the original company.

I think the correct answer is A. The management team will likely be more invested in the success of the company post-divestment if they've bought it out themselves.
