Truckloads equal total quantity divided by truck capacity, rounded up.

Answer Options
A
12 truckloads
B
11 truckloads
C
13 truckloads
D
14 truckloads

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Truckloads equal total quantity divided by truck capacity, rounded up.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 11 truckloads

11 truckloads is below the supported result for aggregate delivery; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: 13 truckloads

13 truckloads is above the supported result for aggregate delivery; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option D: 14 truckloads

14 truckloads is above the supported result for aggregate delivery; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
