I don't think D is a major objective, isn't that more about accounting?

I remember discussing float in the collection process, so option C could be important too, but I feel like it might be more of a detail rather than a major objective.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this. Could it be C - determining the amount of float in the collection process? That seems like it could be a major objective of treasury management as well.

I'm pretty confident about this one. Treasury management is all about managing a company's cash flow and liquidity, so I think the answer is B - maintaining access to medium- and long-term financing alternatives.
