B - The decision to stay in business

C - Whether to open on Sundays or not

D - The decision to increase prices in response to an increase in the price of cheese

Explanation:

The long-run refers to a period beyond the current financial year. Long-run decisions are futuristic in nature. In the long run, all costs and the factors of production are variable. A business has time to adapt to changes in technology and react to customer preferences.

The long-run period contrasts with the short-run. Short-run is about the current financial year. Short-run decisions have an immediate impact.  The decision to hire an additional cook,  whether to open on Sundays or not, and the decision to increase prices in response to an increase in the price of cheese will affect the current financial period. Staying in business is a decision that will impact the current and future periods.
