The factor of proximity to raw materials and customers would be considered when making a location decision at the region/community level.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
When choosing a suitable location for a manufacturing business, the most important factor that needs to be taken into consideration is the availability of raw materials and potential customers in the region.
A manufacturing business can only be affordably run as long as the raw material that is required for the production can be fetched from near the location of the industry and the potential customers of the product being manufactured reside nearby.
