      Instant Storefront

    Correct Answer
    A. Business to Business
    Explanation
    This business model is characterized by multiple high-volume and low-price margins per transaction. In a Business to Business (B2B) model, companies sell products or services to other companies rather than individual consumers. This often involves large quantities of goods being sold at lower prices, as businesses typically purchase in bulk. B2B transactions are focused on meeting the needs of other businesses and establishing long-term partnerships for mutual benefit.

    • D.

      Online job searching.

    Correct Answer
    D. Online job searching.
    Explanation
    Online job searching is not suitable for e-commerce because it involves a different process and purpose. E-commerce is primarily focused on the sale and purchase of products and services, while job searching is about finding employment opportunities. Online job searching requires platforms specifically designed for job seekers and employers to connect, whereas e-commerce platforms are geared towards facilitating transactions between buyers and sellers. Therefore, online job searching does not fall under the scope of e-commerce activities.

    D. C2B
    Explanation
    The correct answer is C2B, which stands for Consumer to Business. In this e-business model, the consumer has the ability to name their own price for products and services.

In a C2B model, consumers have more control and can negotiate prices that they find acceptable.
