Explanation

A consignment order represents a logical grouping of goods being transported, and it serves as the primary communication document between the shipper (the party sending goods) and the consignee (the party receiving them) - making C the correct answer. A freight order (A) is an internal carrier/transportation document focused on the actual movement execution, not shipper-consignee communication. A service order (B) pertains to service activities like maintenance or repairs, with no role in goods shipment. A sales order (D) captures the commercial transaction between buyer and seller but does not serve as the shipment grouping document between shipper and consignee.

Memory tip: Both consignment and consignee share the prefix "con" - the consignment order is what connects the two parties in a shipment.
