Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate mode of transport for unprocessed vegetables from farms to a factory in this scenario would be truck transportation as it is quick, cost-effective for short distances, and suitable for perishable goods like farm produce. Air carrier transportation would be expensive and unnecessary for goods that could be transported by road. Pipeline transportation and oil tanks are not applicable to transporting vegetables, and air tunnels do not exist as a mode of transportation.
