Explanation
In demand-driven or capacity-managed organizations (the context implied by the incomplete question stem), the defining characteristic is that Resource Supply is continuously adjusted through a blend of permanent (full-time staff) and temporary resources (contractors, part-time workers) to match fluctuating portfolio demand (B).
