    A. Batch flow
    Explanation
    When companies produce in either low or high volumes and not all procedures are performed on all products, the most suitable manufacturing process is batch flow. In batch flow, products are grouped into batches based on similarities in design or production requirements. Each batch goes through a series of operations or procedures together before moving on to the next batch. This allows for efficient use of resources and equipment, as well as flexibility in handling a variety of products with different requirements.
