D) Purchase, definitely. COTS packages are off-the-shelf software solutions that you buy, not something you create or outsource.

I believe creating a custom solution would be too time-consuming, so purchasing the COTS package is the way to go.

I think the correct answer is D) Purchase. The question clearly states that the BA included a COTS package as a solution approach, which sounds like a purchase to me.
