Explanation

Process manufacturing is the correct type for a candle company because it uses formula-based or recipe-based production where ingredient proportions vary per finished product - exactly the scenario described. Ingredients such as wax, fragrance, and dye are blended in different ratios to produce distinct candle varieties. Lean manufacturing (B) focuses on pull-based, waste-minimizing workflows for repetitive production and is not formula-driven. Discrete manufacturing (C) involves assembling distinct, countable components (e.g., electronics or machinery) rather than mixing ingredients.
