Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, A mismatch between supply chain lead time and customer demand.

Explanation:

Anand ordered his dream car which is luxury sedan with platinum dashboard. He knows that the delivery of his car will take time to reach him. This is because of the fact that there is a mismatch between supply chain lead time and the customer demand. A lead time is simply the delay or latency between the starting of a process till its execution. The delayed time between the initiation and the execution of a process is called as the lead time. Now Anand has ordered his dream sedan with some customization, which is the demand of the customer. Now the delay in the delivery of the his dream car will be due to the mismatch between his demand and the latency in the initiation and execution/delivery of the car to Anand.
