Hello Team,

The usage of the word "'fulfillment" in relation to goods shipments comes from the terms "order fulfillment" and "product fulfillment", which where introduced by business management researchers who analyzed supply chains in the late 1980s. This was soon picked up by PR people working for picking warehouse companies, who felt that "fulfillment center" or "fulfillment houses" sounded more positive and active than the old term "warehouse". The terms are still so new and unknown by people outside that industry that "warehouse" often is added in parenthesis or used as an alternative word in the same text, in order to explain to laymen what "fulfillment center" or "fulfillment house" actually means

Fulfillment centers take care of the entire order fulfillment process. This includes all the important aspects like receiving, processing and shipment of goods to the customer by linking their website to the retailer's site.[1] All the inventories of an e-commerce firm is handled by the fulfillment center. This means they act as warehousing units for the companies along with managing their shipment and delivery process. They oversee faster movement and stocking of goods by employing warehouse management techniques like Stock Keeping units (SKU) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) .

Essentially, fulfillment centers are third-party logistics solution companies , who help E-commerce firms by handling their goods and providing pick and pack services .In turn saving their money and time.Regards,

In option B, reduce shelf life and in option C, improve product performance are not the function of warehouse. Hence Option A is the right answer.
