Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": its supply chain.

Step-by-step explanation:

A supply chain is the combined network of people, organizations, activities, information, and resources involved in moving raw materials, parts, and finished products from original suppliers to final users. Supply chain management is important for most businesses and may require hundreds of links in major companies. It, therefore, requires considerable skills and "know-how".
