• C. Check the forward and reserve stock to calculate replenishment quantities; Unpack items; Line up items; Prepare folding table and trash bag
• D. Check forward stock and reserve stock to calculate replenishment quantities; Unpack items and carry them to salesfloor; Line up items on shelves, adjust volumes and straighten vertical alignment piles

Answer: (D)

This question tests the correct sequence of replenishment tasks from start to finish. The best order starts by assessing how many items are needed, so you check forward stock and reserve stock to calculate replenishment quantities. Once you know the quantities, you unpack the new items and carry them to the sales floor, so you have the goods in the right place to place them. Finally, you line up the items on shelves, adjust volumes, and straighten the vertical alignment piles to keep the display neat and accessible. This flow keeps planning and movement logical and efficient, ensuring you don’t unpack more than needed or place items before you’ve moved them to the floor.

Other sequences mix in tasks that don’t fit the main flow—for example, unpacking before confirming quantities, or adding folding-table and trash-bag setup at the end, which disrupts the natural order of determining needs, bringing items forward, and then arranging them. The correct order keeps replenishment quantities determined first, then physical handling, then orderly presentation.
