This question is actually easier then it looks. Majority of people here, for some reason, are interpreting that by "providers" it is meant "cloud providers", while the question just says that company is considering outsourcing their budget application (not hosting it in a cloud, but purchasing/outsourcing the development of the app). So the first thing is figuring out the security requirements.

This answer is wrong because, the finance director is yet to decide the provider to go with. A. Determine the required security controls for the new solution.... is the best answer.
