B) Non-negativity constraints
C) Maximization constraints
D) All of the above are types of constraints.

Maximization constraints are not a type of constraint in linear programming models. Instead, maximization or minimization refers to the goal of the objective function (e.g., to maximize profit or minimize cost), whereas constraints (such as resource and non-negativity constraints) limit the feasible solutions.
