Explanation

Options A, C, and E are compelling reasons to migrate - they represent technical debt (A), architectural risk (C), and scalability limitations (E). Option B (third-party dependencies) is actually a reason to AVOID migration unless you can replace those controls. Option D (stable business processes) means the application works - if nothing is broken and requirements aren't changing, migration has low ROI.
