The correct answer is B. eliminating brick-and-mortar locations and offering delivery from a central kitchen.

Explanation:

For customers, the main benefit of home sales is that they save time and place their orders in a simple way. If you manage to retain them, on many occasions you will avoid even thinking.

It is convenient for a home-based business mainly to increase its sales. If the earnings do not cover the expenses of the service then it is not worth continuing with this type of sales.
