I vaguely recall that in a conventional channel, members don't really work together, so D sounds right, but I’m not completely confident.

I feel like I saw a question similar to this in practice, and it mentioned that one member has control, which could point to C being the answer.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about vertical marketing systems being more integrated, which makes me think A is wrong.

I think a conventional marketing channel is where each member acts in their own interest, so maybe D is correct?

Ah, I see. The key is that in a conventional channel, each member is focused on their own objectives, rather than acting in the best interest of the group. That makes sense.

Okay, I think I've got this. A conventional marketing channel is also known as a vertical marketing system, where one member has control over the others. I'll mark that one.

This looks like a tricky question on coupling. I'll need to think carefully about the different types of coupling and which ones are considered negative.

I thought a conventional marketing channel was when you just hand out flyers on the street corner. You know, the old-fashioned 'shake your moneymaker' approach.

B seems tempting, but I don't think that's quite right. Aren't conventional channels all about power imbalances, not cooperation? Maybe I've been watching too many 'Game of Thrones' episodes...
