Explanation

Sustainable Building Strategy (B) directly complements a data centre greening project because it addresses the physical infrastructure - energy efficiency, insulation, cooling systems, renewable energy integration, and environmental certifications (like BREEAM or LEED) - all of which are core to reducing a data centre's environmental footprint.

A (Product Design Strategy) is about how products are designed for sustainability, not about the operational or physical infrastructure of a building or data centre. C (New Building Strategy) implies constructing a brand-new facility, whereas greening focuses on improving existing infrastructure - these are different goals. D (Carbon Offsetting Strategy) compensates for emissions rather than reducing them; it's a supplementary measure, not a complementary initiative that actively improves the data centre's sustainability.

Memory tip: Think "green building = green data centre" - both target the same physical environment. If you're greening inside, you need a strategy for the building it lives in.
