Risk pooling is a strategy in which companies share the risk of disruptions in their supply chains. By having multiple distribution centers, retailers can pool their inventory risk and avoid stockouts in the event of a disruption at one of their warehouses.

Selected Answer: D
The benefits of risk pooling will diminish. By eliminating one tier in the distribution network, the retailer is decreasing diversification in its supply chain. This can reduce the benefits of risk pooling, which is a strategy used to manage uncertainty in demand and supply by pooling varied resources to reduce risk.
