Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": There could be supplier interruptions due to political instability.

Explanation:

Single sourcing refers to a company deciding to choose one particular supplier -even if there are many options from where to select- because of a specific reason. The greater disadvantage of this situation is relying on one supplier for the manufacturing process which at a certain point could bring instability in front of different issues inherent or not to the supplier.
