D) Decreasing setup costs? What is this, some kind of magic trick? The EOQ is all about balancing holding and ordering costs, not defying the laws of economics.

If the demand rate isn't constant, how are you supposed to calculate the optimal order quantity? B is clearly the right answer, duh.

A) future demand cannot be projected? Really? That's like the opposite of what the EOQ is all about. B is the way to go, no doubt.

Hmm, I was leaning towards D, but I can see how that wouldn't be a core assumption of the model. Gotta love those tricky supply chain questions!
