I'm torn between B) 0.3 and C) 0.2. But I think B) 0.3 makes the most sense since it allows for a balance between the old and new forecasts.

Hmm, I'd say the correct answer is B) 0.3. The higher the smoothing constant, the more weight is placed on the old forecast.

But a smaller smoothing constant places more weight on the old forecast, so it should be D) 0.1
