Answer options

• A. freight bureau.
• B. freight broker association.
• C. shipper's association.
• D. integrated service provider.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a shipper's association specifically focuses on organizing shipping for its members. Option A, freight bureau, typically refers to a more generalized entity and does not specifically represent a membership cooperative. Option B, freight broker association, deals with brokers rather than direct members, and Option D, integrated service provider, refers to companies offering comprehensive logistics solutions, not necessarily limited to membership cooperatives.
