Select the elements of promotion mix out of the following :

A. Transportation

B. Advertising

C. Inventory Control

D. Personal selling

E. Warehousing

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

B and D only

The correct answer is option (4) : B and D only

B. Advertising and D. Personal selling are both elements of the promotion mix. Advertising involves using various media channels to convey a promotional message to a broad audience. Personal selling, on the other hand, is the use of sales representatives to communicate directly with potential customers.

The other options (A. Transportation, C. Inventory Control, and E. Warehousing) are not traditionally considered elements of the promotion mix. Transportation, inventory control, and warehousing are more related to distribution and logistics, rather than direct promotional activities. I apologize for any earlier confusion.
