Answer 1

Answer: c. closing the sale is the final—and most satisfying—part of the process.

Explanation:

Closing the sale is NOT the final part of the process but rather the FOLLOW-UP.

And like option e in the question shows, following up can lead to more sales for the representative because following up can guage customer satisfaction and if the customer is satisfied, they could become loyal and recurrent customers.
