The restock level of 40 indicates that the convenience store typically keeps 40 sticks of beef jerky in stock. Since there are only 3 sticks on the shelf, the store needs to order enough to bring the inventory back up to the restock level. Therefore, the order quantity would be the difference between the current inventory (3) and the restock level (40), which is 37. Thus the correct answer is B) 37 sticks.
