B can
C may or may not
D must

Correct Answer: can not

Uncontrollable costs are the costs which can not be influenced by the action of a specified member of an undertaking. For example: a foreman incharge of a tool room can only control costs pertaining to the same department and the matters which come directly under his control, not the costs apportioned to other department. The expenditure which is controllable by an individual may be uncontrollable by another individual.
