I'm leaning towards A. Increased efficiency from e-commerce should boost cash flow, even if it also impacts other balances.

This is a tricky one. I could see an argument for C or D, as electronic transactions might increase accounts receivable or payable. But I'll go with A for now.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. E-commerce might lead to higher inventory balances to meet online demand. So I'm going with B.
