The forecast tracking signal is supposed to help us monitor the accuracy of our forecasts. I bet it has something to do with the errors and the MAD.

Okay, let's see... if the forecast tracking signal is the ratio of something, it's gotta be one of those options. I'm leaning towards B, but I'll double-check my notes.

Ooh, this one's tricky. I think it might be the ratio of the cumulative error to the forecast, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm not sure about that. I think it might be the cumulative error to the forecast instead.

I agree with Rodrigo. It makes sense because the forecast tracking signal helps us measure forecast accuracy.
