Answer:

D. Outsourcing IT management to third-party firms which provide IT services at lower costs

Step-by-step explanation:

Outsourcing IT is one of the ways to reduce costs. Once IT is outsourced, Zara Fashion isnt responsible for the buying and maintaining the infrastructure, labor and support associated with the infrastructure. Also they are not liable for any damage or charges.

Zara Fashion is simply engaged in Infrastructure-as-a-Service
