C is correct as in ETO, management of different materials with different lead times is the main challenge.

Engineered-to-order products often require unique specifications, materials, and components, making the purchasing process more complicated than for standard products. This complexity can make it challenging to configure and integrate the SRM system with existing processes, leading to potential difficulties during implementation. Other factors such as cost of software upgrades, management of variable lead times, and resistance of material suppliers can also pose challenges but are less likely to be the primary difficulty in this scenario.
