The correct answer is:

**The operating cash flows from net sales over the life of the project**

Operating cash flows are crucial for assessing a project's ongoing profitability and viability. They are typically the most important source of cash flow since they reflect the project's ability to generate income. However, forecasting these cash flows can be complex due to various factors, including market conditions, competition, and changes in consumer behavior, making it the most difficult to estimate accurately.
