Answer:
b. Horizontal merger.
Explanation:
Project Repat is merging with a company that produces similar products to its own markets them in similar markets as well, this is an example of a horizontal merger that results in increased synergies between the similar firms and a greater market share opportunity.
Vertical mergers are usually not in the same industry. They would either be with the suppliers of Project Repat or customers who retail Project Repat's products.
Conglomerate is an example of diversification and usually the merging firms have different operations.
There are no information of clashes of any sort within the two merging companies so it is uncertain whether this is a hostile takeover.

Answer:
department store
Explanation:
A department store is a type of retailer that offers a wide range of diverse products. Each product group is classified into a department, thus the name "department store". When customers buy products, they usually check out near the exit of the whole department store, although there are some check-out counters in each department. Also, customer service is always present, mostly in the form of numerous sales clerks providing a helping hand.
They can include almost any range of products: toiletries, furniture, home decor, clothes, toys, hardware... Some famous examples are: Le Bon Marché in Paris, Selfridges in the UK, Macy's in the USA...
On the other hand, a <em>discount store</em> usually offers a broad product range, low prices, but little to none customer service. <em>Specialty stores</em> have a narrow target group as they offer a limited assortment.
