Richard: Could you elaborate on that? I’m not familiar with Nobiiru-chan. What kind of product is it?

Yui: It’s a doll with a built-in sensor. Its hair grows longer depending on the room’s temperature and humidity.

Yukiko: How did your meeting with Justin go?

James: It went well. We talked about improving the checkout flow.

Yukiko: That’s good. What direction did you suggest?

James: I said we should simplify it, maybe by removing some payment options.

James: Oh, I see. So it’s more about usability than cutting features.

Yukiko: Right.

What did the man suggest to Justin?

A: Considering new payment options.

B: Reducing payment options.
