Question

• The remaining sentences accurately describe distributor (a type of distribution intermediary) functions: storage logistics, financing sales, and extending credit to retailers.

Answer:

1. Distributors facilitate the logistics function of storing goods at a suitable location until they can be dispatched.
2. They also finance the sale at times, which implies that they provide credit to retailers.
