I’m pretty confident that estimates are for present or past dates, so B seems to be the best choice here.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between estimates and forecasts. I feel like A might be too broad, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think estimates do involve a range of outcomes, which makes me think D could be right.

I think estimates are more about current or past data, so I’m leaning towards B, but I’m not entirely sure.
