Form utility is created by altering the physical characteristics of a product thereby increasing its usefulness(adding value) for the consumers.

So ideally it should be Manufacturing / operations who create the form utility.

As per the Business Dictionary, it is the process of increasing the attractiveness of a product to consumers or group of consumers by altering it's physical appearance.  In business context, form utility might involve making a product ready for consumption by converting it to a form that is more beneficial to consumers than the raw materials used to make it.

So option A - Operation function which would include marketing, research, and manufacturing would be my option.
