Quinn Vaughan · Answer 1

D) The time that the customer leaves the pizza in the refrigerator

Explanation:

Inputs are raw materials, intermediate products, or labor force that are used and/or transformed, in order to make a finished product, which is the output.

In this case, the dought, the temperature of the oven, and the cheese are inputs, because they are needed in order to finish the pizza.

However, the time it is left in the refrigerator by the customer is not an input because this is a decision taken when the pizza is already a finished good.
