But what if the production plans for other product families should be reduced instead?

Wait, wait, wait. Did anyone else notice the irony of a 'sales and operations plan' being part of the answers? I mean, who comes up with these exam questions, anyway?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Reducing the production plans for other product families could also be a smart move to free up resources for the new market.

Hold on, I don't think we should jump to any conclusions just yet. Presenting the proposed change to top management seems like the safest option to me.

I think option C is the best choice here. Regenerating the sales and operations plan seems like the most logical step to address this new market opportunity.
