I think options A and D might have some valid points, but I can't quite remember the details. It's tricky to pinpoint the right combinations without seeing the exhibit!

I vaguely recall something about pricing strategies affecting gross profit. I wonder if that could be one of the explanations here.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we analyzed profit margins. I think I might lean towards option C, but I need to double-check the explanations.

I remember we discussed how changes in cost of goods sold could impact gross profit margin, but I'm not sure which options specifically relate to that.
