The answer is C. longer inventory sits on the firm's shelves

Explanation:

The Inventory turnover is the number of times inventory is sold or used during a given period of time.

The formula is:

cost of goods sold/average inventory.

A lower inventory turnover means weak sales (declining sales) and excess inventory remaining in the warehouse while a higher inventory turnover means it is taking a firm short time to sell its goods (inventory)
