Suggested Answer: C

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual, process harmonization is the degree to which an organization's processes are standardized and aligned across its business units1. Documenting supply chain processes and maintaining updated documentation are used to achieve process harmonization, as they help to ensure consistency, transparency, and compliance of the processes across the organization2. Documenting supply chain processes also facilitates the identification of best practices, gaps, and improvement opportunities for the processes2.

The answer has to be C. That's the only one that's talking about adapting to unplanned changes in demand. The others are just measuring current demand, not how quickly the organization can respond to changes.
