    C) Jill should focus on the business market and license the natural gas rights.

    Explanation:

    Oil and gas companies are usually very large corporations that have tons of money simply because the process to obtain either natural gas or oil is extremely expensive and costs millions. It is a very complex process that starts with upstream activities (oil or gas exploration and prospecting, preparing the rig site, start to drill, then testing the site, fracking techniques for extracting gas) and downstream activities (production and recycling of fracking fluids, storing and transporting gas, distribution processes). Each stage costs millions, that is why many oil and gas companies are considered regional monopolies due to the high costs.

    Unless Jill has a ranch as a hobby and has many millions in a bank account, he should probably license the exploitation rights to a large corporation that can carry it out. He will still make a lot of money (average royalty rights are 12.5%), since total revenues are very high.

    Answer: C. Jill should focus on the business market and license the natural gas rights.

    Explanation:

    Option C is indeed the right answer. Focusing on the Business Market will get her a better deal because larger companies will be involved.

    It would be very advantageous to license the rights as there will be various bids for the license with the largest bid getting it and only for a period of time.

    Going with this option can get Jill a better deal all round.
