Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Traditional department stores are known for offering a wide range of products, including both broad and deep assortments, to cater to various customer needs. This allows customers to find almost everything they need in one place, from clothing and accessories to home goods and sometimes even furniture and appliances, contrary to what is stated in option E. Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe traditional department stores, as they often provide numerous customer services, have higher operating costs due to their large inventories and extensive services, and compete on factors beyond just price, such as customer experience and product variety.
