Seriously, who even writes these questions? Private-label merchandise? In a department store? That's like saying the sky is purple. Clearly, the answer is D, and the person who wrote this question needs to go back to Retail 101.

Ha! C is so obviously wrong. Department stores are all about customer service. They've got those helpful sales associates and fancy return policies and stuff. Excluding customer service? Yeah, right.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I was thinking B might be the right answer. I mean, don't department stores offer a pretty wide assortment of goods? Oh well, I guess I'll have to think this one through a bit more.
