I'd have to say D. Purchasing is its own little world, completely separate from the rest of the company. It's like a secret society with its own secret handshake and everything.

B is the way to go. Negotiating prices is the most important part of purchasing, unless you're a comedian and your job is to make the suppliers laugh.

I'm going with A. Purchasing? Strategic direction? Hah, that's a good one. We just buy whatever the higher-ups tell us to buy.

Definitely B. Purchasing is all about squeezing those suppliers for the best price, am I right? That's how we save the company money!
