DRP (Distribution Requirements Planning) system is a replenishment system used to manage the flow of finished goods to customers. It helps in determining how much inventory is required to meet the demand. MRP (Materials Requirements Planning) system, on the other hand, is used to manage the flow and timing of inbound materials needed for production. By having both DRP and MRP systems, the company can ensure that they have enough raw materials to produce finished goods and enough finished goods to meet customer demand. Therefore, the best choice is C, MRP.
