Which of these is typically not a goal for the Purchasing Function in an Organization?

Option-B as noted below is not a goal of purchasing 

b. Develop strong relationships with other functional groups in the organization

Option B seems to be the answer as Purchasing department doesn't really work towards such goal !

Thank You

I agree with Fazalur Rahman. Option b is reply

 to Maintain Good relation & Develop strong relationships with other functional groups in the organization

Develop strong relationships with other functional groups in the organization is not a goal of purchasing function in an organization

Obviously, the role of goals and objectives does not stop in the planning stage. If goals and objectives are to be achieved and actually improve the competitive position of the firm, then the organizing, leading, and controlling stages must address goals and objectives as well.
