If people have been choosing other hospitals offering better amenities than the amenities available in the hospitals involved then providing new and better amenities and marketing techniques of advertising them will be effective. When people will hear that these hospitals are also offering new amenities , they may choose these hospitals instead of choosing other hospitals..
Option C is correct.
