Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Plant/warehouse location studies are important, as are evaluations of the transport infrastructure (roads, shipping, and warehousing infrastructure). In countries with an underdeveloped infrastructure and/or a mountainous terrain, warehousing is available only in the main cities or just in the capital city. Consequently, distribution to a more remote location is complicated, and firms may elect to avoid it altogether. Research in this regard is important.
