Answer: B. Warehouse from inventory control

Explanation: Of all the duties highlighted it is most important to separate the Warehouse from inventory control.

Warehouse is a given space where finished goods,raw materials and other inventories are stored.

Inventory control is a supply chain management activity that regulates the inflow and outflow of inventories. Considering the other options,most can be done by the same personnel as they don't involve much of technical competence or high volume of physical activity.

Inventory control is a high volume activity involving high level of planning and coordination of different activities and units, adding it to Warehouse where the volume of physical activity can be overwhelming will aversely affect the overall business.
