The correct answer is letter "E": significantly lowered the costs of shipping goods over long distances.

Explanation:

Containerization is the method of transporting goods in containers. These technique has become standard in freight transport having regulated the dimensions and maximum capacity of materials being moved. One of the big advantages containerization has provided is to transport different materials from different entities all together which implies sharing the costs of the same container, something that lowers the price of the transportation regardless if it is domestic or international.
