Which of the following is NOT listed as a step in the FedEx Ground package life cycle after the origin station?

• A. Sorting facility
• B. Linehaul
• C. Destination stations
• D. Final delivery

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the sequence a package follows after leaving the origin station. After origin, the package moves on to linehaul to get toward a destination hub, then reaches a destination station where it’s routed for the local delivery, and finally gets delivered to the recipient. A sorting facility isn’t listed as a distinct step in this post-origin workflow; sorting happens as part of processing at hubs or destination points, not as its own post-origin step in the sequence. Therefore, linehaul, destination stations, and final delivery are the steps in the described lifecycle, while sorting facility isn’t.
