I'm a little confused by the wording of these options. They all seem to be talking about production planning, but in slightly different ways. I'll need to re-read them a few times to make sure I understand the nuances before selecting an answer.

I was going to say C, but then I realized that's the same answer as the last two candidates. Guess I'm not as unique as I thought. Oh well, at least I'm right!
