If one changes a nonbasic objective function coefficient, the optimal solution of a maximization problem will remain optimal if A)the increase in the coefficient does not exceed the value of the Z_j associated with that nonbasic variable. B)the increase in the coefficient does not exceed the values of the Z_j's of every basic variable. C)the decrease in the coefficient does not exceed the value of the Z_j associated with the nonbasic variable. D)the new C_j - Z_j associated with the nonbasic variable remains positive.

If the increase in the coefficient of a nonbasic variable does not exceed the value of Z_j associated with that nonbasic variable, the current solution remains optimal because the nonbasic variable will not enter the basis.
