C Correct answer
Explanation

When competitors advocate an 'appliance' solution, emphasizing Exadata's complete solution and rapid deployment is most effective. This positions Exadata as a proven, integrated alternative rather than comparing feature-by-feature. Hardware refresh scenarios emphasize cost, existing DW issues emphasize performance, neither is the primary 'complete solution' pitch.
