B. Cannot predict the cost of advertising for new employees ahead of time.

Reason: recruitment expenses (advertising, agency fees, screening, travel/relocation, background checks) are variable and often unpredictable, so you should budget a cushion. A (inflation) is broader, C is about replacement hires (not expansion), and D conflates recruitment costs with compensation/salary negotiations.
