Answer:
D) make mutual investments in specialized assets.

I'm not sure about the exact background of the question, but if you are trying to build a trust relationship with another company, the best way to do it is by investing together.

Yield management pricing
Explanation:
Yield management pricing is the charging of different prices for a given set of capacity at a specific time in order to maximize revenue.

However, if some of those passengers decided to refund their tickets, close to departure and the flight would be taking off soon, instead of flying with empty seats and no revenue from them, the airline would decide to sell these same seats at a cheaper rate in order to gain some revenue. This is a form of revenue maximization.
