Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm thinking option D, since high variability and long lead time would require the largest safety stock to mitigate the risks.

I think option C might also require a large safety stock due to the high variability.

But what about C? High variability with short lead time could also lead to stockouts.

I agree with Marshall, high variability and long lead time definitely require more safety stock.
