Obtains goods in order to sell them directly to consumers.

• A. Retailer
• B. Agent
• C. Marketing
• D. Financing

Answer: (A)

Retailers buy products with the purpose of selling them directly to consumers. This role involves taking possession of inventory, setting prices, choosing sales channels (stores or online), and handling the final sale and customer service. An agent, on the other hand, acts as an intermediary who helps connect buyers and sellers without taking ownership of the goods. Marketing focuses on promoting products and shaping demand, not on owning or selling inventory. Financing provides the funds to purchase goods or run the business, rather than selling to consumers. So, the activity described is the retailer.
