Answer 1

Answer: C. materials handling

Explanation: Material handling is used to ensures an increase in safety from permanent and temporary disabilities. Materials handling involves the movement of a material during manufacturing, dis­tribution (warehouse), or office environment. Materials handling also takes place during prepara­tion for shipment.

Answer 2

A. Reverse logistics

Step-by-step explanation:

Reverse logistics has to do with the return of a product to the manufacturer/producer or distributor for either servicing, refurbishment or recycling. With the defect discovered, Vandelay can use reverse logistics in getting the products back in order to fix the defects in the products. Reverse logistics also refers to activities conducted after the sale of a particular product to recapture the product value or/and end the life cycle. It involves reusing of products and materials.
