Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The cash-to-cash cycle time in the SCOR model represents the duration it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales. This metric is crucial for understanding the efficiency of a company's supply chain and working capital management. It is calculated as the number of days between paying for raw materials (cash outflow) and receiving payment for the finished product (cash inflow). This measure includes the time materials spend in production, the duration finished goods remain in inventory, and the time taken for the company to collect payment from customers.
