C. vendor-managed inventory.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that this demonstrates the concept of a vendor-managed inventory. This specific concept is a business model in which the buyer of a product provides the vendor with information regarding how much inventory they need and the vendor takes full responsibility for making sure that they always have that amount in stock.
