APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 96

A pharmaceutical company makes drugs that control the spread of the influenza virus after outbreaks occur. Deployment to outbreak areas requires a transportation mode that is fast and provides door-to-door connectivity.
Which of the following modes of transportation should the company choose?

Answer options

• A. Intermodal
• B. Truck
• C. Drone
• D. Air

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, Truck, as it provides the necessary speed and door-to-door service for delivering medications directly to outbreak areas. While options like Drone and Air may offer speed, they do not guarantee the same level of connectivity and access to specific delivery points as Truck transport does.
