Explanation

Option A (1 freight unit) is correct because the "consolidate as much as possible" strategy instructs SAP TM to merge all compatible items into a single freight unit. Since both sales orders share the same customer and delivery date, and no incompatibilities exist, all six items across both orders are eligible to be grouped together - resulting in the theoretical minimum of one freight unit.

Option D (2) would be the result if the system consolidated per sales order rather than across orders - a common trap since two orders are mentioned. Option B (3) might suggest one freight unit per item pair or some partial consolidation logic, which doesn't match the stated strategy. Option C (6) would occur with the opposite strategy - "split as much as possible" - creating one freight unit per item.

Memory tip: Think of "consolidate as much as possible" as a magnet: it pulls everything together into the fewest possible units. No incompatibilities + same customer + same date = nothing blocking the merge, so the answer is always the minimum: 1.
