The option C accurately describes the given scenario where a company buys major components from independent suppliers at home. It is a domestic purchasing arrangement where the company outsources the component production to independent suppliers within the country. Option A does not accurately reflect the scenario, as in-house sourcing refers to a company producing the components within its own facility instead of outsourcing it to suppliers. Option B refers to offshore outsourcing or sourcing, which is not the same as domestic purchasing arrangement. Option D is also incorrect as it specifies offshore outsourcing whereas the question does not specify whether the suppliers are domestic or offshore. Option E refers to a company that specializes in managing exports, which is not relevant to the given scenario.
