Which of these is NOT a function of the reseller market?

The correct response identifies an activity that does not align with the primary roles of resellers in the marketplace. Resellers are typically intermediaries that focus on purchasing products from manufacturers and then selling them to end users or businesses. Their functions often include buying products to supply to other businesses or consumers, conducting business-to-business transactions (which can involve wholesaling), and reselling those products to ultimate users.

Manufacturing new products falls outside the typical scope of a reseller's duties. Resellers do not engage in creating or manufacturing products; instead, they serve as a bridge between manufacturers and consumers. By concentrating on activities such as buying and reselling, resellers play a crucial role in distribution and ensuring that products reach the market. Thus, the function of manufacturing is not part of what defines the reseller market.
