Harold Walters · Answer 1

The answer is: C) Delta Airlines (providing competition)

Explanation:

A supplier is a person or company that provides a product or service someone else needs. In this case fuel, planes or financial services are all products or services Southwest Airlines need.

Competition is not considered a supply. By definition a competitor is a rival company that offers a similar product or service. They will try to take away your clients and they will not give anything to you.
