I’m leaning towards operating segments too, but I wonder if service acts could fit in there somehow. It’s a bit confusing!

Control segments sounds familiar, but I feel like it’s not the right term for this question. It’s probably operating segments.

This is a classic IFRS 8 question. The key is identifying the "operating segments" that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. I'm confident Option D is the correct answer here.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know it has something to do with financial reporting, but I'm not totally clear on the specific requirements. I'll have to review my notes on segment reporting before I decide.
