  2% (1)

• D

Explanation

Sustainability is significant for Cisco's partners and customers primarily because it helps them meet regulatory compliance more effectively (C) - governments and industry bodies worldwide are increasingly mandating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements, and Cisco's sustainability-aligned products and practices help organizations satisfy these obligations. Option A is wrong because sustainability actually drives innovation by pushing new technologies and business models, not restricting them. Option B is partially plausible but incorrect as the primary driver - cost minimization may be a secondary benefit, but compliance is the central strategic significance in this context. Option D is the opposite of reality; sustainability increasingly attracts customers and market share rather than decreasing it.

Memory tip: Think "C for Compliance" - regulators worldwide are tightening ESG rules, so the must-do reason partners and customers care about sustainability is staying on the right side of the law.
