A linear programming problem contains a restriction that reads "the quantity of Q must be no larger than the sum of R, S, and T." Formulate this as a constraint ready for use in problem solving software.
A) Q + R + S + T ≤ 4
B) Q ≥ R + S + T
C) Q - R - S - T ≤ 0
D) Q / (R + S + T) ≤ 0
E) Q × (R + S + T) ≤ 4
