Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If both companies have identical assets, then increasing the quantity of those assets (option D) would not give A a competitive advantage over B. Finding some basis for suing B (option B) is unethical and not a legitimate way to gain a competitive advantage. Getting out of its existing business (option C) would not necessarily lead to a competitive advantage either. Therefore, the best option is for Company A to use its assets differently, which could include finding new ways to market and sell the assets, improving the quality of the assets, or combining them with other assets to create a unique offering.
