I practiced a question similar to this, and I think % sales returns might not be as strategic as the others. I’d lean towards market share and return on assets.

% late deliveries seems more operational too, but I feel like it could impact customer satisfaction, which is strategic in a way.

I'm not so sure about % return on Non Current Assets. I remember it being important, but I can't recall if it's strategic or more operational.

I think % Market Share is definitely relevant for strategic benchmarking since it shows how we stack up against competitors in the market.

Hmm, not sure where to start on this one. Lots of different angles to consider - the plan design, the stakeholder priorities, how to position it as low-risk. Gotta make sure I cover all my bases.

Didn't we have a practice question about enhancing visibility? I think that could help in spotting threats too.

Even credit attribution seems like it could be a good fit here. With the long purchase journey, giving equal credit to each touchpoint might provide the most accurate picture.

This seems like a straightforward question about project life cycles. I'll think through the key characteristics and try to match them to the options.
