Use Table $11\mathrm{.}1$ to answer this question. In week $1$ the inventory manager discovers, much to his horror, that instead of $65$ tacos in inventory, they have only $5$ tacos. They had already planned to make exactly what they needed, based on the erroneous inventory number of $65$ and they can't alter their week $1$ schedule. How many tacos do they need to have on their MPS for the second week of production to correct their shortfall, fulfill backorders, and move forward through the rest of the production period?

A$)80$

B$)140$

C$)100$

D$)110$
