Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation - 

The following are the functions of distribution channels.

1. Arrangement: Goods are supplied by an intermediary from numerous sources. The things received, however, vary in size, quality, and features. Based on these features, the intermediary classifies or sorts these commodities into homogeneous groupings.
2. Collection: To ensure a constant and seamless flow of supply, a middle man acquires and maintains a big stock of items.
3. Allocation and Packing: A middleman divides the entire shipment into small, marketable components. It repacks the items into more manageable packages.
