The competency being in a standardized form is not one of the three specific tests suggested by Hamel and Prahalad for a firm's core competencies. The three tests are 1) the competency must make a major contribution to customer perceived value, 2) the competency must be competitively unique, and 3) the competency must be able to extend to satisfy the newly developing markets. Option B and C are not the correct answer since they are both valid tests according to Hamel and Prahalad's framework.
