Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Archive historical transactions and reduce the data volume.
Archiving historical transactions reduces the data volume, which directly addresses the performance issue caused by a high number of open transactions during month-end close. Option A is incorrect because increasing concurrent users would place more load on the system, likely worsening performance. Option B is incorrect because modifying financial reporting to use summary data might improve report generation but does not reduce the volume of open transactions. Option C is incorrect because running processes in batch mode can help with scheduling but does not reduce data volume.
