Hmm, I think the correct answer is B. The MOST analysis should focus on the company's objectives, plans for marketing and the financial considerations, which are covered in a, b and c.

I think the note about awaiting the final draft of the annual accounts before considering investing in a new range of high-tech chairs should also be included in the analysis. It shows a cautious approach to financial decisions.

I agree with you, Daniela. The note about adopting new 3D printing technologies to gain an advantage in quoting for designs is also important for the analysis.

I think the notes about aiming to supply 10% of the local market and investing in local radio advertising should definitely go into the MOST analysis.
