Explanation
Answer - C - Break-in bulk point is the term for a place where goods are transferred from a mode of transportation, subdivided, and then sent on another transport system for export.

Key Takeaway: A break-in-bulk point is a place where goods are transferred from one mode of transport to another, for example the docks where goods transfer from ship to truck. This is typically done with the cargo of a vehicle, taking goods from shipping containers (like drums or barrels) and transferring them from a truck or train to a ship (or vice versa).
