The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
A Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL) provider assumes broader roles than a traditional third-party logistics (3PL) provider. It is not only responsible for the physical movement of goods but also for managing the supply chain as a whole, including coordination between the client and multiple logistics service providers.
“Companies that not only take on the responsibility of the physical movement of goods between a supplier and a customer but also take more of the supply chain service requirements are called a fourth-party logistics company.”
