Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is a supply chain practice where the supplier (vendor) assumes responsibility for managing inventory levels for the retailer or customer. Under this system, inventory is typically placed on consignment, meaning it remains the property of the supplier until it is sold to the end customer. This approach helps in reducing inventory holding costs for the retailer, improving inventory turnover, and ensuring better availability of products. VMI relies on real-time data sharing between the supplier and the retailer to maintain optimal inventory levels and replenish stock as needed.
