Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

To manage the risk of consumer product inventory obsolescence, both inventory balances and sales trends must be monitored. Inventory balances help track the quantity of products on hand, while sales trends provide insights into how products are selling over time. This combination allows for a comprehensive understanding of product movement and helps identify any products that may become obsolete due to declining sales.
