Transportation costs are going to be a huge factor for a company expanding globally, so I'm leaning towards option D. But I'll double-check the other choices just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Global distribution must involve a lot of different costs, so I'll have to weigh each option to determine which is the most critical to control.

Haha, well I guess they won't be worrying too much about the protective packaging if the products are just sitting in a warehouse somewhere! Transportation is clearly the answer.

I agree, transportation is the key factor here. Warehousing and material handling are important, but the costs of actually shipping the goods across borders are what can really make or break a global distribution strategy.
