D. Hasn't ordered recently, orders infrequently, and doesn't place a large order when she orders.

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

RFM analysis is a marketing technique used to evaluate and categorize a customer’s behavior based on three factors:

R (Recency): How recently the customer has made a purchase.

F (Frequency): How often the customer makes a purchase.

M (Monetary): How much money the customer spends when they make a purchase.

Each factor is typically scored on a scale from 1 to 5, where:

1 indicates the lowest or worst performance, and 5 indicates the highest or best performance.

In Mary’s case, her RFM score is "1 1 5":

R = 1 → She hasn’t ordered recently.

F = 1 → She orders infrequently.

M = 5 → When she does order, she spends a large amount.

Therefore, Mary is classified as someone who hasn’t ordered recently, orders rarely, but places large orders when she does.
