You were asked to investigate failures of a production line component based on sensor readings. After receiving the dataset, you discover that less than 1% of the readings are positive examples representing failure incidents. You have tried to train several classification models, but none of them converge. How should you resolve the class imbalance problem? 

Answer options:

A. Use the class distribution to generate 10% positive examples.
B. Use a convolutional neural network with max pooling and softmax activation.
C. Downsample the data with upweighting to create a sample with 10% positive examples.
D. Remove negative examples until the numbers of positive and negative examples are equal.

B
