Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inshoring refers to the practice of bringing jobs back to a company's home country rather than outsourcing them to other countries. This suggests that Fresnas Corp. is manufacturing its products locally, possibly using a domestic supply chain. Keeping its research team in close proximity would help the company to design and develop products more efficiently and effectively, which would support continued inshoring. Options B, C, and D are unlikely given the information provided.
