A. diminishing the quality of Flash's mark.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that Got Shoes is most likely diminishing the quality of Flash's mark. This is because people searching for "flash" but misspell it as "flast" will be sent to Got Shoes domain instead of Flash Inc. thus lowering the perceived quality of Flash's mark since some might see this as an association.
