Haha, C is definitely not correct! Open-source tools can be just as high-quality as vendor tools. Don't believe the hype!

I agree, B is the way to go. The initial costs are free, but the hidden costs can add up quickly.

Option B is the correct answer. The open-source tool may have no initial costs, but the integration and recurring costs need to be carefully evaluated.
