The formula feature that should be used to adjust the quantity of pigment ingredient proportionately when the formula size increases or an ingredient changes is the "Variable" feature.
The "Variable" feature in the formula allows for the proportionate adjustment of an ingredient's quantity based on changes made to other ingredients or the overall formula size. This feature is particularly useful when creating formulas for products that require precise proportions of ingredients to ensure consistency and quality.
When a formula has a variable ingredient, the system calculates the quantity of that ingredient based on the percentage of the total formula weight. Therefore, if the formula size increases, the system will automatically adjust the quantity of the variable ingredient to maintain the proportion of the total formula weight.
In the case of the paint manufacturer, the pigment ingredient is the variable ingredient. As the formula size increases or an ingredient changes, the quantity of the pigment ingredient must be adjusted proportionately, and the variable feature will ensure that this adjustment is made automatically.
Therefore, the correct answer to this question is D. Variable.
