Answer:
The desired inventory levels of the product.
Explanation:
The desired inventory levels doesn't have anything to do with the fact that a product should be discontinued or not since it doesn't have any impact on the demand or price for remaining products.
The inventory level of a product can be changed or adjusted several times during a year depending on the expected sales. Sometimes very successful products have very seasonal sales, e.g. toys that are sold more on Christmas than any other time of the year.
