In the zoning sequence, which category is placed seventh?

• A. Item
• B. Price
• C. Gender
• D. Season

Answer: (B)

In this setup, the zoning sequence follows a fixed order of attributes used to categorize products for merchandising analysis. The position of each category is predetermined, so asking which category is seventh tests your memory of that standard order. Price being seventh means six other attributes that define the item come before pricing considerations are addressed in this framework. This placement makes sense because you typically establish the item’s core identity and descriptive attributes first, then assign or analyze pricing afterward. Therefore, Price is the category that sits in the seventh spot in this sequence. The other options—Item, Season, and Gender—appear earlier in the order, so they aren’t seventh in this fixed framework.
