Explanation

$42 million (option A) is the documented figure Cisco invested in energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives to achieve and sustain its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas reductions, as reported in Cisco's corporate sustainability/CSR disclosures.

Why the distractors are wrong: Options B ($45M), C ($48M), and D ($57M) are plausible-sounding figures that may reflect other Cisco sustainability budgets or unrelated investment line items - they are close enough to the real number to be convincing traps, but none match the specific capital figure tied to GHG Scope 1 and 2 reduction efforts.

Memory tip: Think "42 = the answer to everything" - just as 42 is famously "the answer to life, the universe, and everything" in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, $42 million is Cisco's answer to cutting its direct and energy-related emissions. This makes option A uniquely memorable among the choices.
