Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is a method used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. It takes into consideration all stages including production, transportation, and use, as well as the impact of the product’s end-of-life. CRM (Customer Relationship Management), SRM (Supplier Relationship Management), and MRP (Material Requirements Planning) are not related to environmental impact assessment.
