b) industry-standard benchmarks typically reflect the types of applications that are intended to run at a given installation better than a benchmark made at the installation or a production program.
c) benchmarks most often are used as a basis of comparison between systems constructed by different vendors. Industry-standard benchmarks are fairer for this comparison than those developed by individual vendors.
d) all of the above
