The correct answer is E because managing inventory involves balancing inventory investment with customer service (ensuring products are available when needed), costs associated with changing production levels (adjusting to demand fluctuations), costs of placing orders (procurement and administrative expenses), and transportation costs (moving goods to where they are needed).
