The correct sequence is S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) which helps to align demand and supply, followed by aggregate planning which determines the overall production capacity requirements, then MPS (Master Production Schedule) which determines specific production requirements for each item, and finally MRP (Material Requirements Planning) which calculates the materials needed to fulfill the MPS. Choice C is the only option that follows this sequence.
