Why does Mindy bring many notebooks to farmers' markets?

• A. Because she wants to ensure plenty of inventory for every shelf.
• B. Because she plans to change notebooks frequently.
• C. Because she knows she'll sell them due to high visibility and foot traffic.
• D. Because she expects most customers to buy other products.

Answer: (C)

The situation tests how a seller uses the environment to guide how much product to bring. Farmers’ markets have high visibility and lots of foot traffic, so there are many potential buyers passing by who might notice and want notebooks. Bringing many notebooks capitalizes on that opportunity—it's about stocking enough to meet the likely demand and avoid missing sales when interest is high. If she packed only a few, she could run out quickly or miss chances as more people see her items. The other ideas don’t fit the setting: there’s no need to think about shelf space in a market stall, frequent notebook changes aren’t implied, and expecting customers to buy other products isn’t the point of bringing more notebooks.
