Answer 1

Answer:

D. market segmentation

Explanation:

Market segmentation is the process by which consumers are grouped on the basis of some shared characteristics. The grouping helps businesses develop strategies that will effectively meet the needs of the target customer segment.

Consumers share common characteristics like common needs, interest and location. They are expected to respond in a similar way to marketing effort.
