 Suppliers located in diverse and distant locations -- would make it difficult to implement JIT as different factors come into play e.g. shipping delays, customs, etc

Option C would be appropriate answer as distant suppliers are exposed to many uncertain risks that will hinder the supplier's ability to deliver in time, which will affect their market share due to non availability of stock. 

 

Unless you want to create a deliberate demand for your products by taking advantage of brand reputation like Apple did in UK on its iPhone4/5 release.
