Answer 1

Answer:

C. Well Max, speed isn't everything. What would exceed our customers' expectations? Some consumers may put more importance on high quality and/or lower prices.

Explanation:

As a consumer, it is not only the timely delivery, but a great quality deal with low price.

What if the goods are received really fast, but the quantity and quality do not satisfy the needs of the customers.

The quality, price and quantity are more important than the time, on an average the product shall be delivered on time, but if it delivered before the expected time, it is an add on.

But the timely delivery is not the sole consideration to be focused for gaining competitive advantage.

Therefore, Statement C is correct.
