I heard the facility location decision was so tough, they had to call in the logistics superhero - Captain Shipping!

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.

Least cost method may focus solely on minimizing costs without considering other important factors like market location and volume of goods.

Factor rating is also a method used for facility location selection, but it may not take into account all the factors like the center-of-gravity method does.
