Explanation

Workflow engines require substantial time (A) and resources (B) to get underway because they involve complex setup processes: configuring infrastructure, defining process models, integrating with existing systems, training staff, and testing workflows before they can operate reliably. These two factors are well-documented challenges in workflow management literature and go hand-in-hand - resource allocation (hardware, personnel, software licenses) directly drives how much time implementation takes.

Why C (money) is wrong: While cost is a real concern, money is an indirect factor - it funds the time and resources. The question asks what is directly required to get underway, not what enables those requirements.

Why D (variance) is wrong: Variance is a statistical/quality concept unrelated to the startup requirements of a workflow engine. It describes deviation in a process, not what a workflow engine needs to launch.

Memory tip: Think of launching a workflow engine like starting a construction project - you need time to build it and resources (workers, materials, tools) to do the work. Money pays for those, but it's the time and resources themselves that are consumed.
