The use of electronic systems to sell goods and services describes which term?

• A. Skimming
• B. Unit costs
• C. Intermediaries
• D. E-commerce

Answer: (D)

Using electronic systems to sell goods and services is e-commerce. This term covers online shopping platforms, websites, apps, and other digital channels where customers browse, place orders, pay electronically, and have goods delivered through internet-enabled processes. It highlights the method of selling rather than the product itself or the costs involved.

Skimming refers to stealing small amounts of cash from registers or customers. Unit costs are the cost per unit of a product. Intermediaries are middlemen in a distribution channel. None of these describe selling through electronic systems, so the term that fits best is e-commerce.
