Which ONE of the following is NOT a main element in the marketing mix?

A Price

B Packaging

C Place

D Promotion

B

Explanation:
The marketing mix comprises the four Ps: Price, Product, Place, and Promotion. Packaging, while important as a feature of product design, is not considered a main element of the marketing mix. It may contribute to the product’s appeal but is not a standalone category. The correct answer is B (Packaging), as it is not one of the four primary elements.
