Answer:

D. Unit load principle

Pallets follow the operating principle of unit load which means handling products in a large unit load. Pallets are horizontal platforms used for assembling, storing, handling, and transporting materials and products. Gravity principle encourages the usage of gravity in the movement of goods, space utilization principle encourages effective utilization of all available space and system flow principle encourages integration of data flow with physical material flow.
