Selected Answer: A

Arranging for multiple sources for key components is the most appropriate action for the company to increase its resiliency. By diversifying its supplier base, the company can reduce the risk of supply disruptions and ensure a continuous flow of key components, even if one supplier encounters difficulties. This enhances the company's ability to recover quickly from supply chain disruptions.
