Question

question 3 of 10
which of these is the most specialized company in a supply chain?
an apple orchard that grows, picks, and cooks apples in their own restaurant
a company that transports cherries on trucks domestically
a mine that digs, polishes, and sets diamonds in rings and sells online
a fisherman that grills and sells his daily catch on the beach every day for lunch

Explanation:

To determine the most specialized company in a supply chain, we analyze each option:

• The apple orchard does multiple activities (growing, picking, cooking, restaurant).
• The cherry - transporting company focuses only on domestic truck - based transportation of cherries, a single supply - chain function (transportation) for a specific product (cherries).
• The mine does multiple activities (digging, polishing, setting, selling online).
• The fisherman does multiple activities (catching, grilling, selling).

Specialization in a supply chain means focusing on a narrow, specific function. The cherry - transporting company has the most focused, single - function role.

Answer:

B. A company that transports cherries on trucks domestically
