Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
While historical data on maintenance costs, breakdown probabilities, breakdown occurrences, and repair times are all necessary to identify the optimal maintenance policy, the cost of performing the analysis is not necessarily a factor in determining the optimal policy. Therefore, choice B is not necessary to identify the optimal maintenance policy.
