Answer:

B) a turnkey system.

Explanation:

A turnkey system, or any other type of turnkey projects (e.g. factories), are called this way because all that the customer needs to do is turn the key and start running the system or factory. They are basically ready to use systems or projects customized to satisfy the customer's requirements. Turnkey projects include everything that is needed to start working. Generally the supplier is also responsible for training employees on how to use the system.
