Mcintosh · Answer 2

a.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these processes are known as outsourcing. This term or process is when a company hires another company in which the hired company agrees to be responsible for an activity or process that could be done internally but which the company has decided not to. Such as in this scenario since a third party (completely unrelated company) is handling all of the logistics division of the company.
