Freddie's Sandwich Shop makes sandwiches to order, using the finest locally sourced ingredients. Freddie gets his bread from Country Bakes and the fillings for his sandwiches from Belle View Farms. Freddie's local approach has proved popular and many people now get their lunch from his shop. rather than from a branch of Wholegram Foods, which used to be the town's most popular sandwich shop.

However, Freddie is worried about the poor wheat harvest and the effect this might have on the cost of his bread.

I agree with Alyce, Belle View Farms and concerns about the poor wheat harvest would provide inputs to internal processes.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was thinking D, Wholegrain Foods and concerns about the poor wheat harvest, since those seem to be external factors that could impact Freddie's business.

I think the answer is B. Country Bakes and UK Systems Limited. The question is asking about inputs to internal processes, and the information about Country Bakes providing the bread and UK Systems Limited being a customer seem most relevant.
