D. own (take title to) the products they handle.

Explanation:

A merchant wholesaler is an independent institution that buys products in large quantities directly from producers and resell to businesses, governments and other wholesalers.

All merchant wholesalers take title to the products they handle. This is the major difference between merchant wholesalers and other wholesalers.

These merchant wholesalers take ownership rights (title to the product) while other wholesalers simply engage in the act of selling the product from retailers to the end users.

Other wholesalers receive commission from each sale and have very little say in the policy of the company they sell their products.
