A carpet manufacturer has delivered carpet directly to the end consumer rather than to the carpet dealer. The carpet manufacturer is practicing which of the following? OA. channel assembly OB. drop shipping O C. float reduction O D. cross-docking OE. postponement

Answer: Option B

Explanation: Drop shipping refers to a technique of supply chain management under which the re seller may not keep the products in inventory but rather remittance the orders and information of its client to either the company, another distributor or a wholesaler who then transports the products directly to customers.

Drop shipping may happen when a local distributor gets a single massive request for a commodity (which normally sells to the wider population in small numbers).

Thus, we can conclude that the correct option is B.
