This question requires familiarity with ways companies can effectively integrate data analytics into their existing operations. Choice B is correct because data analytics and its integration should be treated like a team sport where skills are shared amongst a group with the same goal in mind. The remaining choices are incorrect because they place focus on consolidating the skillset to one or very few people and do not prioritize the skills-sharing aspects of a company-wide data analytics deployment.
