Even though all the points shall be considered during argument,

Since effective argument is concerned, I will go start with Option B, Sustain the argument with Option A and end the argument successfully and jovially with Option C.

B – Good quality increases productivity (less cycle time), reduces cost (fewer defects) and decreases risk that the product will be returned by the customer). Answer ‘C’, though important to the CFO, has nothing to do with the customer. Answers ‘A’ and ‘D’ while they may be true are not the core reasons for maintaining good quality
