Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The demand side of a traditional warehouse management system (WMS) primarily focuses on managing and fulfilling customer orders. This includes:

Order Processing: Receiving and processing customer orders efficiently to ensure accurate and timely fulfillment.

Picking and Packing: Assembling outbound orders by picking items from their storage locations and packing them for shipment.

Shipping: Coordinating the shipment of assembled orders to customers.

While receiving incoming goods, assigning storage locations, and forecasting product demand are important functions of warehouse management, they are more aligned with the supply side and inventory management. The primary concern on the demand side is ensuring that outbound orders are accurately assembled and shipped to meet customer demand.
