Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maturity means that the industry has reached a stage where it has already experienced significant growth and expansion. It still has opportunities for growth and profit, but they may be more limited than in the earlier stages of the industry's development. Therefore, option B "Still has some opportunities" is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because maturity does not necessarily mean that the industry is at its end. Option C is incorrect because maturity does not imply low returns, just that they may be more stable or predictable. Option D is incorrect because incumbents may continue to operate and compete in a mature industry.
