• BCreate a discount group.
• CDefine a new price list with a factor of 2.
• DCreate a specific blanket agreement.

• A
  4% (2)
• B

  9% (5)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Discount Groups (option B) are the correct tool because they allow you to configure multiple, targeted discount types for a specific customer simultaneously - in this case, a percentage discount on a particular item group (cookware at 2%) and a free goods promotion (every 3rd apron is free). No other single mechanism handles both a category-based percentage discount and a free item rule in one setup.

Option A (Special prices for business partners) handles fixed price overrides for individual items, not category-level percentages or free goods rules - it's too granular and doesn't support the free apron promotion. Option C (Price list with a factor of 2) applies a uniform multiplier across all items for a customer; it can't target only cookware, and 2% would require a factor of 0.98, but it still can't handle the free goods condition. Option D (Blanket agreement) is designed for committing to purchase quantities or values over a time period - a purchasing contract, not a discount configuration.

Memory tip: Think "Discount Group = customer-specific discount bundle." Whenever a scenario mixes category discounts with promotional rules (buy X get Y free) for one customer, a Discount Group is the only tool flexible enough to hold both.
