Explanation

The constraint in this scenario is that funds are available for hardware replacement but NOT for major software projects or significant labor. Conflicting industry security standards and regulatory requirements (C) are the most likely reason some IT resources cannot be integrated. For example, one company might be subject to HIPAA while the other falls under financial-sector regulations. Reconciling these conflicting compliance mandates requires extensive software-level changes, policy rewrites, legal review, and process redesign - all labor-intensive efforts that are explicitly out of scope. An outdated VDI (A) can be replaced with hardware funds. Browser optimization differences (B) are a minor, low-cost concern. Differing DLP stringency (D) can often be addressed by adopting the stricter standard through configuration changes rather than full software projects.
