I think C is about the connection between materials and finances, but it doesn't really capture the "bi-directional" aspect. D seems more fitting based on what I studied.

I keep mixing up the terms. Is bi-directional just about goods, or does it include information too? I feel like I need to review this more.

I remember a practice question about logistics flows, and it emphasized the importance of return flows. That makes me lean towards D as well.

I think "bi-directional" means flows that can go both ways, so maybe it's D? But I'm not entirely sure.
