The correct answer is: A. order entry subsystem.
The order entry subsystem is responsible for capturing and processing customer orders. This includes collecting information about the items ordered, such as the item description, price, and warehouse location. The order entry subsystem then passes this information to the other subsystems in the order management system, such as the billing subsystem and the manufacturing information system.
The manufacturing information system is responsible for planning and scheduling production. It uses information about the items ordered to determine what needs to be produced and when. The marketing information system is responsible for developing and executing marketing plans. It uses information about the items ordered to understand customer demand and to develop marketing campaigns. The billing subsystem is responsible for generating invoices and collecting payments. It uses information about the items ordered to calculate the amount due from the customer.
None of the other options are correct because they do not capture and process customer orders.
