Which one of the following statements about line balancing is BEST?
A. If a precedence relationship exists between A and B, they cannot be assigned to the same station.
B. If the desired output rate increases, the cycle time also tends to increase.
C. The theoretical minimum number of stations can never be achieved, hence the name "theoretical."
D. If a line's balance delay is minimized, its efficiency is maximized.
