Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": identify potential new customers.
Explanation:
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the result of a joint effort made from Mexico, the United States, and Canada to standardize the classification of businesses in each country according to their production processes. There was a need for such a classification after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed in 1994.
The data collected by the NAICS are useful to have an estimate of the number, size, and geographic scope of the companies, forecast sales, and to identify market potential and new customers.
