Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is a real shipping geek. Anyway, I'm going to have to go with B) Center-of-gravity. Sounds like the most comprehensive approach.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm going to go with D) Least cost. That just makes the most sense to me for a facility location decision.

I think the correct answer is B) Center-of-gravity. This method considers the location of markets, volume of goods, and shipping costs to determine the optimal facility location.
