Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Cannibalization

Explanation:

Cannibalization is a marketing strategy which entails a reduction in sales volume, sales revenue, or market share of one product as a result of the introduction of a new product by the same producer.

A company will do this inorder to increase market share and take a gamble that introducing the new product will harm other competitors more than the company itself.
