This choice acknowledges that even if a program fails, there may still be positive aspects of it that make it worthwhile to adopt. Additionally, lower cost is just one example of a positive feature that may make it worth considering. Choice B is incorrect because it makes a definitive statement that is too extreme. Choice C is also incorrect because there may be hesitation to adopt the new approach if it has failed in practice. Choice D is incorrect because ignoring or explaining away the failure does not address the issue and may create further problems.
