The correct answer is letter "C": Environmental scanning.

Explanation:

Environmental scanning is the set of actions companies undertake when planning to open up businesses in new regions. Firms must analyze if the target area meets the requirements for the business operations to run smoothly and to make sure there are good opportunities from where the firm can profit. Environmental scanning involves studying the target market, consumers, and competitors.
