E is clearly incorrect. A push strategy is the opposite of a customer-driven system, right?

D seems like a good option too, but I'm not sure if that's considered a feature of a push strategy specifically.

I see both perspectives. Allocating merchandise based on previous sales forecasts can help prevent overstocked goods, but shipping based on current sales forecast can also ensure the right amount of merchandise is available.

I think the correct answer is B. A push strategy involves shipping the entire merchandise line based on forecasts, rather than waiting for customer orders.
