Answer 1

agents can eventually replace manufacturer's sales agents. This option is incorrect because sales agents are typically hired to work in conjunction with manufacturer's sales agents, rather than replacing them. The correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D) agents can eventually replace manufacturer's sales agents. This option is incorrect because sales agents are typically hired to work in conjunction with manufacturer's sales agents, rather than replacing them.
