Explanation

Option B is correct because in SAP TM, the "Source location to Incoterm location - type 1" profile setting defines the split point for stage building, not which stage is active. The company (buyer/shipper) takes active ownership of transportation from the Incoterm handoff point to the destination, making that stage active; the source-to-Incoterm leg also gets created, but as a passive/inactive stage because the seller handles that portion-so two stages total are generated.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong on two counts: it claims only one stage is created, and incorrectly marks the source-to-Incoterm leg as the active one.
• C is the classic trap-it correctly identifies two stages but reverses which leg is active; the source-to-Incoterm stage is passive, not active.
• D correctly identifies which stage is active (Incoterm to destination) but misses that a second passive stage is also created.

Memory tip: Think of the Incoterm location as a baton handoff in a relay race. The seller runs the first leg (source → Incoterm); it exists in the system but your company isn't "holding the baton." Your company grabs it at the Incoterm point and actively runs the second leg to the destination-so your active stage always runs from the Incoterm location forward.
