Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The possibility of multiple IRRs can create confusion and difficulties in decision-making. Additionally, the assumption that all cash flows are reinvested at the IRR may not be realistic in practice, as different projects or investments may have varying reinvestment options or opportunities.
