The implementation was completed on time, but the business analyst discovers that the fuel cost data is being measured inconsistently across regions. What should the business analyst do?

   • ARecommend extending the evaluation period by six months to gather more data.
   • BConclude that the solution is not meeting the fuel cost criterion and recommend replacement.
   • CInvestigate the measurement inconsistency and determine whether the fuel cost reduction is actually being achieved.
   • DIgnore the fuel cost criterion because the data accuracy criterion was exceeded.
