Option A is the clear winner here. Small, inexpensive, and globally distributed products are perfect for a single-level, centralized distribution network. Easy peasy!

I'm not sure about this one. Option D seems like a decent choice, as large products with long delivery times could benefit from a centralized network, but I'm still a bit unsure.

Hmm, I think option C is the way to go. Large, expensive products with high demand would probably be best suited for a centralized distribution network to ensure efficient delivery.

This seems like a tricky question. I'm leaning towards option B, as heavy and inexpensive products with a short delivery time would likely benefit from a centralized distribution network.
