I believe the correct answer is the one where you sell both options, but I can't remember if it's the call or the put that's short.

The key here is that we want the field to be displayed but not selected by default. I think B. Search Results is the best choice to achieve that. It's a straightforward solution if you understand how search configuration works.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if the system carries inventory for the parent item or if it just represents the components bundled together. I'll have to think this through carefully.
