Explanation

The key constraint is that the vendor requires a physical (wet ink) signature - not a digital or faxed copy. Driving to the vendor if they are local (C) allows the PM to hand-deliver a physically signed purchase order immediately. Requesting a courier from the vendor to pick up the purchase order (E) is the fastest remote option when the vendor is not local. Mailing (A), faxing (B), or scanning/emailing (D) the document all transmit copies of the signature, not the original physical document - none of these satisfy the vendor's stated requirement for a physical signature.
