I remember a practice question that focused on supply chain issues, so I feel like increased costs in supply and deliveries could also be a significant force.

I've got this! The competitive forces that influence markets are the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of substitute products or services, and the rivalry among existing competitors. So the correct answer here is D - the bargaining strength of suppliers and buyers.
