The answer is: cutting out the middleman (D)

Explanation:

: cutting out the expenses of the middleman will be the most effective way to reduce distribution costs that is because the commission that is given to that middleman will be saved by the business and the business can then use that money elsewhere. The other options cannot be the right answer because they are needed by the business for effective distribution.
