The last link in the chain of distribution is the?
wholesaler
retailer
consumer
factor
advertiser
Correct answer is B
A distribution channel is a chain of businesses or intermediaries through which a good or service passes until it reaches the end consumer. It can include manufacturer ==> wholesalers ==>retailers==> consumers.
The chain of distribution always ends at the point where goods and services get to the final consumer and the retailer is that "last link'' that connects the goods to the consumer.
The word "link" means connection. Hence, the retailer is the last connection, (not the consumer) because the consumer is the final receiver and not a connector or giver.
