A. Multimodal

Explanation:

Multimodal in transportation in which a particular set of goods is engaged in two or more different modes of transport. It combines various means of transportation in delivering a cargo to its destination. In Multimodal, even though the transportation or shipping goes through different modes, it is still handled by a single transport company or carrier. It is quite different from the intermodal which also involves various modes of transportation but some by several shipping or transportation company. In this scenario, the garments are transported with ship, train and then trucks.
