(B) ​​product pilferage

(C) ​shrinkage

(D) ​inventory obsolescence

Answer 1

(D) ​inventory obsolescence

Step-by-step explanation:

• It is known as the phase where the inventory is at the end or final stage of its product cycle. This inventory can be sold or used for the long run and is then not expected or liable to be given or sold in the future by the company.

• As she doesn't know whether the inventory is missing or does not know if it has been broken or stolen, she can note this down and thus can asset for the criteria following the valid integrity testing.
