Solution
Cash flow position affects the ability of a firm to meet fixed financial commitments.
Higher and stable cash flows allow the firm to take more debt.
Tax rate influences capital structure due to the tax advantage on interest.
Interest on debt is tax-deductible, so a higher tax rate makes debt more attractive.
Cost of debt determines whether borrowing is economical.
If the cost of debt is low, firms prefer debt; if high, they avoid it.
Nature of business is not explicitly listed in NCERT factors.
Thus, as per NCERT:
(A), (B) and (D) only
