APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 421

What emerging supply chain trend can mitigate risk from tariff wars between countries?

Answer options

• A. Digitalization
• B. Sustainability
• C. Regional sourcing
• D. Trusted networks

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Regional sourcing allows companies to procure goods from nearby countries, reducing dependence on distant suppliers and the risks posed by tariffs. While digitalization, sustainability, and trusted networks are important trends, they do not specifically address the immediate risk from tariff wars as effectively as regional sourcing does.
