Answer:

d. Bulk Breaking

Step-by-step explanation:

breaking bulk refers to delivering single units from distribution centers to retail outlets rather than the multiple units bundled together by manufacturers termed 'case-packs'. The focus is largely on the benefits to space management at the retail level, rather than the more obvious reduction in inventory costs.
