The answer to the question is (B) a need for firms to consider the economic impact of their existence and/or departure from a particular location.

When deciding to move from a location, firms tend to only consider the benefit that the company gains by making this decision, especially in terms of revenue or profit. Oftentimes, the company does not consider how the communities living around the company - which often also includes the workers - are impacted by this decision.
