B)feasible
C)erroneous
D)nondegenerate

When all the improvement indices for unoccupied cells are positive, it means that there is still room for further improvement in the current solution. Hence, the stepping stone method suggests moving to the next iteration to find an improved solution. This implies that the current solution is not optimal, but the improved solution obtained after further iterations would be. Therefore, option A) optimal is the best choice.
