Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Charitable organizations are allowed to send merchandise through the mail to people who did not order it as long as it is labelled as a gift and recipients are not forced to pay for it. This practice is known as "un-solicited merchandise." Hospitals, local businesses, and governmental units cannot send merchandise in such a way without the recipient's consent.
