Answer 2

C. Reverse Logistics

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a list of the options:

a. inbound logistics.

b. materials handling.

c. reverse logistics.

d. third-party logistics.

Reverse Logistics refers to any logistics undertaken by an organisation or industry that reverses or changes the normal direction of product delivery. Usually product delivery moves from the manufacturer to the distributor and then to final consumer. However, reverse logistics involves the backward movement of goods from destination back to manufacturer for different reasons.

Some of the reasons that call for reverse logistics is as given in the question, the need to develop and implement a recall program.

A Recall program is executed or embarked upon by a manufacturer either when there are widespread complaints about the product such as was the case with the exploding Samsung Note 7 from Samsung or the manufacturer discovered a defect in an already distributed product.

More precisely, reverse logic represents the process involved with moving goods from their original final destination back to the manufacturer for defects purposes, capturing values or in case of lack of solution, then reverse logistics will be needed for proper disposal.
