CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Write each resource as (amount used per unit) × (number of units), added over the products.
'At most' or 'available' gives ≤, 'at least' or 'must give' gives ≥; a profit is maximised and a cost minimised.
Worth noting
Revenue is not profit: subtract each item's cost from its price first.
