Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delivery cycle time is the total time from order placement to delivery. Since only the time required to fill the order is given, we need to add additional time for processing and delivery. Without any additional information, we can assume that the delivery cycle time is at least a day. Based on the given times, the total time required to fill the order is 31.6 hours, which is the closest to a day (24 hours) and the only option that is reasonable for a delivery cycle time.
