The correct answer is accessing critical complementary assets.

Explanation:

Complementary assets are those that are required to derive value from a primary investment, that is, companies to take advantage of the value of their expenses in information technology need major investments that complement their proper functioning.

For example; Harnessing the value of automobiles requires considerable complementary investments in roads, highways, gas stations, repair facilities, and a legal regulatory structure to set standards and control drivers.
