The correct response is: The interest payments were using up a substantial amount of revenue.

Carrying a significant amount of debt meant that Toys 'R' Us had to allocate a large portion of their revenue to pay off interest, which limited their ability to invest in other crucial areas such as marketing, store renovations, and inventory.
