Explanation
Capacity management aims to balance resource supply against business demand so that resources are used efficiently-available when needed, without excessive waste or over-provisioning. Full utilization (B) is not the goal; running resources at 100% leaves no headroom and risks outages. A fixed threshold like 85% (C) is an arbitrary metric, not a universal objective. Allocating resources for new applications (D) is a task within capacity management, not its overarching objective. Efficiency-meeting business needs cost-effectively-is the true goal.
