Differentiated defenders are focused on maintaining a high level of control over their distribution channels in order to ensure consistent delivery of their differentiated product or service. This is best achieved through high forward vertical integration, where the firm owns and controls the channels of distribution. Diversified prospectors and customer-oriented analysers may also use some level of vertical integration in their distribution strategies, but it is less likely to be as high as with differentiated defenders. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are not the best choices for this question.
