They want to be able to run these sets independently and also combine them in a single playbook. What is the best approach?

   • AUse `include_tasks` with a variable that selects which file to include.
   • BCreate separate playbooks for each function and use `import_playbook` in a master playbook.
   • CPut all tasks in a single playbook and use `when` conditions to skip sections.
   • DCreate a role for each function and include them in a master playbook.
