Answer options

• A. Reducing returns processing costs
• B. Reducing legal costs
• C. Extending the product life cycle
• D. Complying with the SCOR framework

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The primary benefit of implementing a reverse logistics system is often the reduction of returns processing costs, as it streamlines the return process and minimizes expenses. While reducing legal costs, extending the product life cycle, and complying with the SCOR framework are important, they are not the main focus of a reverse logistics system.
