I've got a strategy - I'll eliminate the options that don't make sense first, then focus in on the most logical choice. Minimizing both unused and unmet doesn't seem right, and maximizing both is just weird.

Okay, let me break this down. We want to maximize efficiency, so I'm leaning towards option C - maximize unused capacity and minimize unmet demands.
