The question that distinguishes the question asked by the development team surveying potential customers to determine what features they want in the new product is:

c. What will make the most effective design solution?

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that d) talks about the delivery date of the product, not about the features of it. A) talks about the general characteristics of the product without satisfying a need. b) talks about the need the products seek to fulfill, but they are not trying to identify the need for the product. But to improve it, as they already have a need very clear to be fulfilled. Therefore, c) which talks about how to improve its design to be more acceptable to that group will provide the information to persuade them.
