Which of the following options is not a benefit derived from e-commerce?

the question asks to identify which option is not a benefit derived from e-commerce.

E-commerce inherently provides benefits like non-stop accessibility (Always available), expanding market reach globally (Increase in customer availability), and enabling buyers to easily research alternative prices and reviews (Comparison facility).

However, an increase in reliability is generally not considered an inherent technical or structural benefit of e-commerce compared to traditional brick-and-mortar commerce. E-commerce systems remain susceptible to unique issues such as website crashes, server downtimes, internet connectivity dependencies, shipping delays, online fraud, and the inability of customers to physically verify product quality prior to delivery. Thus, Option C is the correct choice.
