The company can sell all the units it produces. The data for the problem are summarized below. The decision variables are defined as X_i = the amount of product i produced
Y_i = 1 if X_i > 0 and 0 if X_i = 0
Which of the following constraints creates the link between setting up to produce A's and making some A's for this problem?

• A) X₁ ≤ 16Y₁
• B) X₁ − Y₁ = 0
• C) X₁ − 18Y₁ > 0
• D) = if(X₁ > 0, Y₁ = 1, Y₁ = 0)
