Definitely D) Service level. You can't have customers waiting for their orders, so you gotta stock up. Might as well have a few extra widgets lying around, just in case.

I'm going with D) Service level. It makes sense that the target level of customer service would be the main determinant of how much inventory you need to keep on hand.

B) Available-to-promise is an important consideration, but it's not the primary driver of inventory levels. That would be the desired service level, which is option D.
