Answer 1

Operations management will put everything in place to make and distribute the new product.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales and marketing group could make a great promotion campaign but if the product isn't ready or isn't in the stores shelves by the moment the campaign hits the media it will be useless.

The operations management's job to put everything in place to make and distribute the new product.

Other choices are not right because....

... will market the new product: no, it's the Sales and Marketing's job to do it.

... hire new employees: no, it's he human ressources' job to do it.

... will sell the new product: no, it's the Sales and Marketing's job to do it.
