D sounds like a pretty standard process to me. Acquiring parts from a vendor is part of the regular manufacturing workflow, not a special project.

Haha, imagine if a clothing company designed and sold a new item every day. That would be one busy project team!

I'm not so sure. C could also be a valid answer, as setting up a new training program seems more like a project than a regular business process.

But doesn't a project involve a unique goal with a defined start and end date, like designing and selling a new item?

I think the answer is B. A commercial construction company building a warehouse seems like a clear example of a project-based activity, as it has a defined start and end point.
