A team describes partnering as the low risk option because it requires little upfront investment. How should this be qualified?

• APartnering moves the risk rather than removing it. The partner's roadmap, pricing and continued existence become inputs to your product, and the exit cost grows quietly with every customer onboarded.
• BIt is accurate, since no capital is committed.
• CPartnering is always higher risk than building.
• DThe risk is identical to buying, since both involve a third party.
