D
Correct Answer
To balance cost-efficiency with performance — avoiding both wasted spend on excess idle capacity and the risk of under-provisioning as demand grows
Explanation
Capacity planning seeks a balance: provisioning purely for worst-case peaks can waste money on idle resources most of the time, while ignoring growth trends risks future shortages. Modeling both trends and projected growth helps organizations scale resources cost-effectively and proactively.
