Cost per unit is not a typical difference used to distinguish between goods and services. Both goods and services can vary widely in cost per unit, and this variation is not inherently tied to the nature of being a good or a service. The other options (B, C, D) are common distinctions between goods and services, such as the ability to inventory items (goods can be inventoried, services generally cannot), the timing of production and consumption (services are often produced and consumed simultaneously), and the level of customer interaction (services typically involve more direct interaction).
