Features B capture very recent demand for the bikes. Features C capture demand for bikes at particular hour. Features D capture demand for bikes at particular and particular day of the week.

Since the label (number of rentals) is real-valued we have regression setting. Also, since the number of features is relatively small (less than 100) and they are not sparse, the decision boundary is probably nonlinear. Based on this, we decided to use boosted decision tree regression algorithm.
