There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.
With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.
Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.
Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.

Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 10%
Levered cost of equity:
= 10% + ( 10% - 6%) × 0.2
= 10.8%
Therefore, Taggart's levered cost of equity would be closest to 11%.
