In the context of sourcing, multiple suppliers: a. often provide the ability to form close partnerships. b. often provide economies of scale. c. lower the risk of supply disruption. d. lower the chances of using a push or pull system.

c. lower the risk of supply disruption

Explanation:

Having multiple suppliers is always a good sourcing strategy, as it minimizes the risk of supply disruption. If one of the suppliers fails to maintain the contract due to various reasons (bad business operating), the risk is dispersed among a few suppliers, so there is the contingency principle applied.

This way, the supply chain never gets disrupted.
