Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": distributor, not a supplier.

Explanation:

A distributor is a type of business that represents a manufacturer and typically agrees with it in being the exclusive entity purchasing from the manufacturer in a given area. The distributor is not part of the production process of the goods being traded neither offers the good directly to end-consumers. A distributor relies on wholesalers and suppliers to do so.

Thus, Global Blenders is an example of being a distributor that does not engage in supplying materials to the manufacturer neither sells the goods to final customers.
