Step-by-step explanation:
Transactional channel partners are external entities that assist a company in distributing and selling their products or services. Option c is true in this case because transactional channel partners provide a distribution link for other companies. They are not inherently loyal to the companies they serve, so option a is false. They also do not create long-term alliances with their partners, so option d is false.
