If a company is operating in a developing or less-developed country, which type of challenge can arise that would affect the shipping and movement of physical goods in a country

Answer: b. an infrastructure challenge

When goods are being shipped therefore, these pose a problem to the company doing the shipping as they would have to surmount these challenges in order to get their products from point A to be. For instance, as a result of bad roads, more money would have to be spent maintaining trucks that get damaged.
