Noah Lam · Answer 1

The correct answer is a. quick response and efficient consumer response delivery systems.

Explanation:

Rapid response systems, as the name implies, seeks to simplify the order process by making it as simple and fast as possible. This is of great importance to large store buyers who handle large volumes of inventory and require a quick response on availability and the time it would take for a new order to arrive to fill their shelves. Technology is important in this process because of its ability to generate data instantly, and because the transmission of information is done just a click away.
