Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Option A, number of material moves, would be an acceptable measure of activity for a material handling activity cost pool. This is because the cost of material handling activities can be directly tied to the number of times that materials need to be moved from one location to another. Options B, C, and D are not as directly tied to material handling activities and would not be as appropriate measures of activity for this particular cost pool.
