Explanation

A balanced deployment of printers means strategically distributing printer types (color, mono, MFP, personal, shared) across an organization to match workload and user needs - and the key benefit of doing so is that it optimizes both cost and productivity (D): you reduce waste by not over-provisioning expensive color or high-capacity devices where they aren't needed, while ensuring users have the right tool nearby to stay productive.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (HP pin retrieval) is a specific security feature tied to HP's pull-printing technology, not a benefit of balanced deployment strategy.
• B (store print jobs on HP printers) describes print job spooling or follow-me printing - again a feature, not a deployment benefit.
• C (MFP color printers) - having access to color MFPs is a result of including them in a fleet, not a benefit of balancing that fleet.

Memory tip: Think of "balanced" like a balanced diet - the goal isn't any one food (one printer type), it's the right mix that keeps you healthy (productive) without overspending (cost-efficient). When you see "balanced deployment," map it directly to cost + productivity.
