Answer:

The best reasonable way to extend the life of Product Z is:

Add new features to the existing product to "recharge demand" for Product Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above option (unlike others) will ensure that the new features increase the market demand for Product Z. These new features must consider the needs of customers. Adding new features should not be for the sake of modifying or prolonging the life of the product but for the sake of satisfying customers' needs. Therefore, customers' requirements must be ascertained and incorporated in Product Z.
