D all the way! Standardizing and cleansing the data is the only way to ensure you're not making decisions based on a hot mess. Kinda like cleaning up your room before your mom comes to inspect, you know?

Haha, option A? Really? Pre-selecting data to support predetermined decisions? That's like cheating on a test, but for business decisions. Nah, gotta go with D, my man.

I'm pretty sure D is the right answer here. Modifying the data to remove sensitive info is a bad idea, and the other options just don't seem to address the core issue of data quality.
