This is a classic inventory distribution problem. I'm going with B - seems the most logical based on the equal run-out requirement.

The equal run-out method means distributing the inventory to ensure each district warehouse runs out at the same time. So the correct answer should be B) 20 units to A, 60 units to B, 40 units to C.
