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!

Option A is too narrow, B is more about the overall business strategy, and D is just about the production process. C is the clear winner here.

Option C seems to be the most comprehensive definition of a production plan. It covers all the key elements like production quantities, inventory levels, resource requirements, and availability.
