I agree, option C is the best answer. The cost-benefit analysis is key here - if the upgrade is cheaper than the potential losses, it's a smart investment.

The expected loss from the risk exceeding the mitigation costs seems like the most logical choice. Upgrading the firewalls is a no-brainer if it saves us money in the long run.
