Typically by having a conversation with your DBA or Data Architect, people who have access / knowledge of the structures & volumetrics involved. All anyone could do here is give you generic advice about full table scans, hash joins v. nested loops and other possibly misplaced advice since we know nothing about your environment other than what you posted.

However, from a quick look at the Oracle explain plan, it would seem this particular query would be helped by adding an index over the "B.intakeid" column.
