Explanation:

Distribution centers (DCs) play a role in the supply - chain process. They are not typically responsible for guaranteeing product quality (that is more of a manufacturer's role). A central purchasing center is a different entity focused on buying goods. Consumer information collection is not the main function described here. However, when DCs ship products to various buyers, this is a form of customer service as it is facilitating the delivery of products to the end - users (buyers).
