I agree, A is definitely independent demand. It's driven by customer needs.

I’m confused about D; I thought protective packaging was more about logistics than demand, but I could be wrong.

I recall a practice question that mentioned subassemblies being part of dependent demand, so I don't think B is correct.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about independent demand being driven by external factors, which might make A the right choice.

I think independent demand is related to customer orders, so I would lean towards option A.
