Answer 1

Answer:

D) Homogenization of time and routinization

Explanation:

E-commerce software has changed a highly customized activity (determining where and how an individual could fly to) and reduced it to a simple routine. Customers can check their flight status whenever they want. They do not have to wait to contact a travel agent or even wait for a travel agency to open. Therefore time has been homogenized and transactions routinized.
