A classic total cost question! I'm going with D. Inventory carrying costs. It's all about maximizing efficiency, and that means considering the full picture, not just the obvious transportation fees.

I think it's also important to consider other costs like import duty costs. They can add up and impact the overall total cost.

Hmm, I'd say B. Receiving inspection costs. You can't just ignore the costs associated with making sure your goods are in tip-top shape when they arrive, can you?

I think D. Inventory carrying costs is important too. You have to consider how much it will cost to store your inventory while in transit.

I think it's a trick question. They're trying to get us to choose something that isn't directly related to transportation, like C. Inventory purchasing costs. Nice try, but I'm not falling for it!
