Many chemical products, such as pharmaceutical drugs and bulk industrial chemicals, can be manufactured using either batch or continuous processes.
The table below outlines some characteristics of these two manufacturing processes.
| Batch process | Continuous process | |
|---|---|---|
| A | High rate of production | Low level of automation |
| B | High capital (setup) cost | Highly labor-intensive |
| C | Frequent shutdowns for cleaning | Continuous operation |
| D | Highly automated | Multi-purpose equipment |
Which row of the table correctly identifies characteristics of both the batch and continuous processes?
Row A
Row B
Row C
Row D
