Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Kolder Inc. requires receiving the parts very quickly and the question specifically mentions that the company is relying more on the transportation system despite its expense, airway transportation is the best choice. Airway transportation is known to be the fastest but also the most expensive mode of transportation. The other modes of transportation such as truck, waterway, pipeline and railroad are comparatively slower and cannot always guarantee timely delivery of goods.
