In a VMI system,the ________ must share demand information with the ________.

A) manufacturer;customer
B) customer;retailer
C) retailer;manufacturer
D) manufacturer;designer

In a VMI (Vendor-Managed Inventory) system, the retailer must share demand information with the manufacturer. The manufacturer uses this information to manage its inventory levels and ensure that the retailer has the products it needs when it needs them. By sharing demand information, the retailer can avoid stockouts and reduce the need for safety stock, which can reduce costs for both parties. Therefore, option C (retailer; manufacturer) is the correct choice.
