I thought it was just about quality, not quantity.

I vaguely recall that overproduction is about producing more than needed, so A seems correct, but I wonder if C could also fit in some way.

I feel like overproduction might also relate to not considering waste, but I’m not confident if that’s the right angle for this question.

I remember a practice question that mentioned waste reduction, but I’m not sure if it was specifically about customer demand or just general efficiency.

I think "overproduction" has something to do with making too much stuff that nobody wants, so I’m leaning towards A.
