Answer:

D) assortment warehousing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that this technique is called assortment warehousing. These are warehouses specifically designed to house products that are being stored for long periods of time until customer demand for those products rises. Such is the case with wrapping paper since demand is low until the holiday season where it drastically increases.
