    C, distributed product development

    Explanation:

    Distributed product development can simply be defined as the distribution of the different parts/components of a product to different firms. Distributed product development is usually done when the best of partners are being consulted over a product. Te other firms usually are the best in the production of the components of the product and as such might not be based in the home country of the product's parent company.

    From the above question, it is seen that Donavan is speaking to different companies all of the world as regards his product's components. The companies are the best in what they do and he has to have each of them contribute their best ideas to his product.

    Cheers.
