Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

When implementing e-commerce in the supply chain, one of the toughest challenges is ensuring that data can be universally understood and processed by different systems. This includes:

Data Standardization: Converting data from various vendors and partners into a common format.

Interoperability: Ensuring different systems can communicate and share data seamlessly.

Data Accuracy: Maintaining the accuracy and consistency of data across the supply chain.

While getting all vendors to computerize (A), convincing the IT department of the value (C), and explaining the reason for change to customers (D) are significant challenges, translating data into universal standards is often the most complex due to the diverse systems and formats used by various entities in the supply chain.
