Explanation

Continuity (A) is the correct control aspect because operational supplier management focuses on the day-to-day execution of supplier relationships - specifically ensuring that supply is uninterrupted and reliable. At the operational level, the primary concern is maintaining a steady, ongoing flow of goods or services without disruption.

Quality (B) is a distractor because quality assurance is typically governed at the tactical level, through performance reviews, audits, and SLA monitoring - not the routine operational layer.

Time (C) is also a distractor; while delivery schedules matter, time-related concerns (such as lead times and deadlines) are embedded within continuity planning rather than being a standalone control aspect at the operational level.

Memory tip: Think of "operational" as "ongoing operations" - the word continuity literally means "keeping things going," which maps directly to what operational management controls day to day. If supply stops, operations stop.
