Answer 1

Transportation is needed for quick and safe carrying of goods and people from one place to another.

Explanation:

Warehousing is concerned with the storage and preservation of goods until they are required. It helps store raw materials, produce goods in anticipation of demand, and maintain a balance between demand and supply. Transportation concerns the movement of goods and people, not the functions or importance of warehousing.
