Answer: E - The technology which the company is considering adopting was recently developed and has not yet been successfully implemented in a real business context.

Explanation: the company would be able to recover the cost of adoption of the new technology. This strengthens the argument that the upgrade should take place.

The new technology would improve cost of production and efficiency. This strengthens the argument that the upgrade takes place.

Because the upgrade hasn't been successfully tested, it might have an unintended negative impact which would erode all the benefits of the upgrade
