Anu Bhardwaj · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is:

Stores like Home Depot and Costco act as wholesalers when they take delivery in whole-lot quantities.

Explanation:

Wholesalers purchase goods in bulk (whole-lot quantities) directly from manufacturers and then resell them, often at lower prices per unit.
Home Depot and Costco sometimes act as wholesalers because they sell in bulk to contractors, small businesses, and consumers.
The key factor that defines wholesaling is buying and/or selling in large lots, not selling directly to consumers (which is retail).
