C Correct answer
Explanation

Straight rebuy involves automatic reordering of routine supplies without extensive evaluation - think of office essentials that need constant replenishment. Paper clips and pencils fit this perfectly as low-cost, frequently purchased items with established specifications. Heavy machinery and computers involve more complex decisions (modified or new task buying), while high-quality raw materials typically require quality verification.
