A) Material Group.

Answers: B, D

For the classic ECC MRP via MD01 (online) or MDBT (background), the selection criteria are:
Scope of Plan (sequencing Plants and/or MRP Areas)
User Exit (Abap routine to select Materials for the MRP run)

For the new S/4 MRP Live (transaction code: MD01N which can be setup for Immediate or Schedule Runs), the selection criteria are (via the Planning Scope selection):
Plants (one or more)
Material (one or more)
Product Groups (one or more)
MRP Controller (one or more)
Material Scope (MPS or MRP Materials or Both) 

One additional advantages of the MRP Live vs the classic MRP is that MRP Live can also perform planning run for PPDS Materials (Materials activated for Advanced Planning).
