The graph shows an analyst's assessment of how the cost of processing capacity for a certain type of information management software depends on whether that capacity is provided using point-to-point interfaces, interfacing capabilities, or integration capabilities. Most information management software of this type has nonzero capacities provided by all three methods. Cost and capacity levels indicated by the levels of the curves at the far left end of the graph reflect minimums that are shared by all information management software of this type. The lines continue to the right with similar slopes beyond the points shown.
Select from the drop-down menus the options that create the statement that most accurately reflects the information provided.
For the information management software with levels of processing capacity, it would be least expensive to add a small amount of processing capacity by means of

Question says ''least expensive to add a small amount of processing capacity'' In other words, question is asking for the rate of change(COST/PROCESSING CAPACITY) OR slope. Graph with broken line has the least slope all along.

Question asks - What is the means by which we can add a tiny bit of processing capacity and keep the cost same. Which basically means, keep the Y axis value almost the same by increasing the value of x axis.
We can see that this is possible only in "Integration capabilities" as the graph is almost a flat line. This solves the second dropdown.
Now coming to the first dropdown, we see that for all values the integration capabilities is close to straight line. Thus "All of the indicated" is the correct answer!
