The bullwhip effect, huh? Sounds like something you'd see in a Wild West movie, not a supply chain exam! But I'm confident that B is the right answer here.

Woah, this one's tricky. I'm debating between B and D, but I think I'm going to go with B. The bullwhip effect just sounds more relevant to the scenario described.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B) bullwhip effect. That's the term we've been learning about in our supply chain management class.

The bullwhip effect is such a fascinating concept! It's like a tiny ripple in the pond causing a huge wave upstream. I bet this question is going to be a real brain-teaser.
