B)310
C)260
D)360

210To determine the number of units of D needed, we must first understand the material structure tree for item A, which is not explicitly provided but can be inferred from the question. Assuming each A requires a certain number of Bs and Cs, and each B and C in turn requires Ds, we calculate based on the need for 30 units of A. Given there are already 15 Bs, 40 Cs, and 100 Ds in inventory, we subtract these from the total required. Without the specific structure, we can infer that the correct answer accounts for the existing inventory and the production requirements. The choice that fits a logical calculation based on the provided numbers and typical material requirement planning (MRP) logic is 210 units of D, suggesting that after accounting for existing inventory, 210 more units of D are needed to meet the production requirements for 30 units of A. This is a simplified explanation without the exact structure tree details, which are crucial for a precise calculation but aligns with the choice given.
