d. Product financing arrangement.

Explanation:

A business transaction in which an organization sells and agrees to repurchase inventory with the repurchase price equal to the initial or original sales price plus the carrying and financing costs is known as the Product financing arrangement.

A product financing arrangement is more likely to exist when the seller commits to having a third party client purchase the item and then agrees to repurchase the item from the third party client.

It's noteworthy to know, that the seller controls how the item sold under either of the above mentioned situations is analysed and disposed of.
