Table/indexed.
Let's look at the three options and see what their advantages and disadvantages are:
Contiguous - In this scheme, the file is stored in contiguous blocks of the disk. It allows for easy random access of the data, but requires a contiguous sequence of blocks large enough to handle the entire file. Since the size of the file specified in this question varies quite a bit over it's lifespan, you're either going to be wasting a lot of space by having an allocation large enough to handle the maximum sized file, or the file will need to be copied whenever it grows and "bumps" into a file that was allocated after it. Because of this, this method is not the best.
Linked - The file is stored as a single, or double linked list of file blocks. This allows for the file to grow or shrink as needed, using only the amount of space needed for the file. Unfortunately, this storage scheme doesn't allow for random access of the file contents and the file can only be accessed sequentially. The question for this problem doesn't specify how the file is being accessed, so as long as random access isn't required, then this would be a reasonable allocation scheme. But I'm assuming that random access will be required, in which case, this scheme isn't ideal.
table/indexed - In this scheme, some disk blocks are used as tables to point to other disk blocks that actually contain the file data. It's almost as fast as contiguous allocation for random access of the file contents, yet allows for the growth and shrinkage of a file like linked allocation. As such, it handles all use cases at a relatively minor cost in total storage required. So this would be the most appropriate allocation scheme since the file access behavior wasn't specified in this question.
Answer:
Option D. Entry into the European market by Home Depot.
Explanation:
The reason is that the strategic actions are long term actions and are market based moves which bounds the organizational resources for implementation and are also very difficult to reverse.
So here use of coupons, fare increases and two for one offers are easily reversible, requires fewer organizations resources for implementation and short term decisions which means these are tactical actions.
Whereas the decision to enter european market by Home Depot is long term decision, bounds organization resources for implementation and is very difficult to implement or reverse the actions once taken, so it is strategical action of Home Depot.
Explanation:
A focus group can be defined as a qualitative marketing research method where some people with common characteristics are brought together in a group who are guided by a trainer to promote discussions on a particular topic of interest and gather information to assist in decision making.
To organize focus groups for an innovative German-style fast food restaurant, you could separate 3 groups, the first being ages 18 to 30, the second 30-45 and the third group 45 and above.
The screening criteria could be, sources of income, profession, sex, taste for food, hobbies, etc.
The questions to ask could be related to the number of times a week people eat fast food, what is your favorite German food, how much are you willing to pay for the options offered in the restaurant, what elements do you consider most attractive in a restaurant ,etc.

Dear esteemed customers,
I bring to you an unpalatable news about the changes that would be initiated in our business approach to our customers.
As you can bear witness to, there has been a drastic increase in the cost of doing business in our industry with the notable changes being in the wheat used in producing our confectioneries, the sugar as well as the rising cost of transportation to various customers' locations.
Taking this into account, our company decided to introduce a flat rate delivery cost of $20 irrespective of the location of our customers. This would help us to minimize our production cost. Inorder to also consider our customers, there is a free 20 pieces cake (box) offered to every customer who buys 50 box of each product. This means, 50 box of cupcakes earns you one box free, 100 box cupcake purchase earns you 2 free boxes.
I do hope you would understand our challenges as a company and bear with us regarding to this delivery charge introduction.
Sincerely,
Maris Albert (For the company)

Answer:
product
Explanation:
When a company is organized by product, it will structure its whole operation to cater to focus on that one product. This will include the way the arrange their production method, distribution strategy, marketing plan that they implemented, etc.
We can use coca-cola as an example.
They separate the office to cater specific products only. They do this to increase the efficiency of the production. Focusing only on one product will make it easier for the workers to understand the type of customers that they face in the market and the type of materials and production method that will be the most cost efficient.
