Answer:

a. 1 container

Explanation:

Options are " 1 container, 2 containers, 3 containers, 4 containers"

Safety stock factor = (Number of container*Container size - Daily demand*Elapsed time) / (Daily demand*Elapsed time)

0.1 = (Number  of container*44 - 100*0.4) / (100*0.4)

0.1 = (Number  of container*44 - 40) / 40

0.1 * 40 = Number  of container*44 - 40

4 = Number  of container*44 - 40

4 + 40 = Number  of container*44

44 = Number  of container*44

Number  of container = 44 / 44

Number  of container = 1
