"What are the main drivers of the DCF"

Hey Guys, I keep getting the question, "What are the main drivers?" when talking about DCF but I have no idea what this means and can only guess they are referring to inputs? I usually just list all the cash flow lines that go into the DCF and the WACC but is this what they mean?

Thanks!
