Indirect
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

In an echelon logistics structure, the flow of products typically proceeds through a series of established arrangements or stages, from the origin to the final destination. This structure involves multiple layers, such as manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers, each adding value and passing the product along the chain. This contrasts with direct logistics structures, where products move directly from the producer to the consumer without intermediaries, and combined or indirect structures, which involve a mix of direct and echelon methods.
