Perishability refers to the fact that services cannot be stored for future use, as they are consumed at the time they are produced. This can lead to challenges in managing supply and demand for services. Choice A (sustainability) refers to the ability to maintain or preserve resources over time, and is not directly related to the inventory of services. Choice B (tangibility) refers to whether a product or service can be physically touched or perceived by the senses, and is not directly related to the inventory of services. Choice C (homogeneity) refers to the degree of similarity among service offerings, and is not directly related to the inventory of services. Choice E (heterogeneity) refers to the degree of variability among service offerings, and is not directly related to the inventory of services.
