1. Identifiability (and measurability)
2. Accessibility
3. Responsiveness
1. Identifiability
- the target market must be identifiable to determine which of the
consumers belong to the segment. The target market must be well-
defined and measurable, particularly in terms of population, income, and
age bracket.
2. Accessibility
- this refers to the ease of reaching the identified market segment in terms
of geography and economy with appropriate market strategies.
3. Responsiveness
- the target market should be evaluated if they will respond (i.e. purchase)
the products and services created for them. There is little point in
identifying a market, creating a product, and developing marketing
strategies if the consumers themselves see little value in what is being
offered to them. Thus, the products and services must meed the
consumers' or organizations' needs.

b. does not apply.
Explanation:
The perfect tender rule has certain exceptions where it cannot be applied to the tender parties and the probates of the tender.
If there is a government ruling against the use of certain products that are necessary for the tender to be completed and the outlaw happens after the tender is signed but before it is completed as a consignment then it cannot be done.
This would come under the ambit of an emergency where the governed ruling makes such deals null and void.
