An external supplier is a company or person outside of the organization that provides goods or services to the organization. In this case, the lumber company is an external supplier as they provide the raw materials (wood) needed for the toy manufacturing process at ABC Company. The other options (B, C, and D) are all internal departments or locations within ABC Company and do not fit the definition of an external supplier.
