Hmm, the four quadrants... let me think. Routine, Leverage, Critical, and Tactical? Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. Oh well, I'll go with the options provided.

The four quadrants are definitely Routine, Bottleneck, Leverage, and Strategic. This matrix is a classic procurement tool, can't believe anyone would get this wrong!
