Synergy is like the opposite of entropy - it's about things coming together in a harmonious way. I'll go with D and hope my knowledge of thermodynamics pays off on this one!

Hah, I bet the person who wrote this question was a big fan of the Ninja Turtles. 'Synergy' sounds like something Donatello would say while they're fighting Shredder. But in all seriousness, D is the right pick.

Hmm, I was tempted by B) Increased costs, since sometimes partnerships can get bogged down in coordination and bureaucracy. But I think D is the better answer - synergy should drive efficiencies and cost savings in the long run.
