Short-term schedules are prepared from master schedules, which are derived from aggregate plans. The aggregate plans provide an overview of the production plan for a specified period. The master schedules break down the aggregate plan into specific products and quantities to be produced. Short-term schedules are then created from the master schedules to determine the specific tasks and resources needed for production on a daily or weekly basis. Therefore, D is the correct choice.
