A request for information (RFI) is a type of preliminary survey sent to potential suppliers to gather information about their products or services. It is used to narrow down the list of potential suppliers before sending out a formal request for quotation (RFQ) or a request for proposal (RFP). A purchase order and order release are both formal documents issued after the supplier selection process is complete. Therefore, the best choice is B, as it specifically mentions a preliminary survey.
