Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": The company desires to enter new markets.
Explanation:
Vertical integration happens when a corporation buys other companies in the supply chain and manages them. There are two types of vertical integration: backward and forward. In backward vertical integration a corporation, like a manufacturer, owns companies that supply inputs to the manufacturing process for businesses.
In forward vertical integration, a business owns another company in the supply chain to get closer to the end customer.
Thus, vertical integration is not a technique companies use to enter new markets.
