To form a simplex matrix, we need to convert the minimization problem into a maximization problem. This can be done by multiplying the objective function and all constraints by -1. Thus, the given problem becomes: Maximize -11ea984b_ae2d_d68f_9029_85bc5265ea83_TB4005_11 subject to -11ea984b_ae2d_af7e_9029_1fc3818ff81c_TB4005_00. This can be written as: Maximize 11ea984b_ae2d_d68f_9029_85bc5265ea83_TB4005_11 subject to 11ea984b_ae2d_af7e_9029_1fc3818ff81c_TB4005_00. This matches option D.
