Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is a replenishment system where the supplier or vendor is responsible for monitoring the inventory levels of a retailer or distributor and is responsible for replenishing stock when needed. This allows for more efficient and timely replenishment as the vendor has real-time access to inventory levels and can adjust production and delivery accordingly.
