Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
An intermediate good is a good that is used in the production of another good, rather than being sold directly to consumers. Sugar bought by a bakery is used to produce baked goods, so it is an intermediate good. Sugar bought by a family, furniture bought by a family, burgers bought at a restaurant, and medicines bought at a pharmacy are all final goods because they are sold directly to consumers.
