Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A manufacturer's rep is an independent salesperson who contracts with a manufacturer to sell their products on their behalf, but they do not keep an inventory of products. Instead, they work to establish relationships with customers and promote the manufacturer's products. In contrast, a distributor buys products from a manufacturer and sells them to customers, often keeping an inventory of products. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
