Question

BuyCostumes.com is the fastest growing Internet apparel company. Since their founding in 1999 they have experienced the challenge of an annual growth of 75%. This challenge is further complicated with over 50% of their annual sales occurring in 6 weeks. Operations planning is the key to success in BuyCostumes.com's challenging and complicated business. This planning begins with a successful sales forecast that takes into account company history, economic forecasts, industry and pop culture trends. The sales forecast enables customer service and the warehouse to determine their peak season staffing needs. Purchasing, warehousing and receiving must also plan with a focus on the peak Halloween season. The business is working to lessen the impact of the Halloween peak by expanding into party supplies and holiday decorations.

So in this situation on customer will get the error the moment another customers pays for the t-shirt. So the moment the customer pays for the product item count is reduced. Hence this is the correct option.
