If a handicraft product is heavy and low-priced, what distribution problem will increase?

Correct answer: Transport cost may reduce profit

Direct answer: Option C. Distribution means moving a product from the maker to the buyer. A heavy product with a low selling price creates a difficult cost relationship: the item earns only a small amount, but packing, loading, storage and transport may cost a lot. Step by step: weight increases freight and handling; the selling price remains low; transport consumes a larger share of revenue; the remaining profit may become very small or disappear. Option C is correct because it identifies the direct logistics problem. Option A is wrong because cultural value does not automatically rise when an object is heavy. Option B is wrong because transport difficulty does not erase the artisan’s skill. Option D is wrong because customers will not always agree to pay more; low price may be part of the market expectation. Exam cue: heavy plus low-priced means high freight cost and reduced margin.
