B . Go-live with Sales and Service cloud functionality first, followed by Marketing Cloud, and then B2C Commerce.

Answer: D

Explanation:

This answer is correct because it aligns with the executive team’s request to see the benefits and return on investment sooner than three years. A multi-phased approach allows for incremental delivery of functionality across all clouds, which can provide value to the business and customers faster and more frequently.
