An organization prioritizes its work on a `last-in, first-out' basis. Which work item should be actioned NEXT?
The correct answer is D. An item logged today at 11:00. LIFO means the most recently logged item is handled first. Option D (today at 11:00) is correct because it is the latest item logged - the last one in - making it the first to be actioned under a last-in, first-out policy.

Explanation
LIFO means the most recently logged item is handled first. Option D (today at 11:00) is correct because it is the latest item logged - the last one in - making it the first to be actioned under a last-in, first-out policy.
Options A and B are wrong because they were logged yesterday, making them older than today's items and therefore further back in the LIFO queue. Option C was logged today but at 09:00, which is earlier than 11:00 - so D still arrived "last" and takes priority over C.
Memory tip: Think of a stack of plates - the last plate placed on top is the first one you pick up. The most recent timestamp always wins with LIFO.
