Supplies used in daily business operations are called

• A. Retail Supplies
• B. Consumable Supplies
• C. Consumption Supplies
• D. Office Supplies

Answer: (C)

The concept here is the distinction between items that are used up in day-to-day operations and those that last a long time. Supplies that are consumed in the course of normal work—things that get used up and must be replenished regularly—are described as consumable or consumption supplies. This term best fits the idea of everyday items like paper, towels, cleaners, and disposable gloves that are spent during routine tasks, rather than durable, long-lasting assets. While you might commonly hear “consumable supplies,” the option labeled Consumption Supplies matches the intended concept of items expended through daily operations. The other terms are less precise: office supplies is a general category for items used in an office, and retail supplies suggests a retail-specific context rather than general daily operations.
