Hmm, I'm not sure about D) environmental, ergonomic and social. Ergonomics seems a bit out of place in this list of macro-environmental factors.

B) environmental, ethical and cost also seems like a reasonable answer. Sustainability and ethical practices are becoming increasingly important in supply chain management.
