International House of Pancakes $($IHOP$)$ is a U$.$S$.-$based multinational restaurant chain that specializes in breakfast food. Due to declining sales, an IHOP franchisee must consider closing up to three of her least profitable locations. She meets with two consultants to discuss potential plans. The first consultant offers two plans. Plan A will result in losing two locations with certainty. Plan B has a two$-$in$-$three chance of losing all locations but a one$-$in$-$three chance of losing no locations. The second consultant also offers two plans. Plan C keeps one location open with certainty. Plan D has a one$-$in$-$three chance of saving all three locations but a two$-$in$-$three chance of saving no locations. If the franchisee applies the cost$-$benefit principle, which combination of plans reflects a consistent decision?
