By using the rule removal processor [15] with the following polynomial ordering [25], at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.
Strictly oriented dependency pairs:

B(b(c(x1))) → A(x1)


Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(C(x1)) = 2 + 2·x1   
POL(a(x1)) = x1
