Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context: Internships give professional experience and skills, so preparation (internships) is good for marketing jobs. "Beneficial" means helpful, which matches. "Simplistic" is negative, "inexpensive" is about cost (not relevant), "controversial" means debated (not relevant). So the correct option is B.
