Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A host country national (HCN) is a citizen of the country in which a subsidiary of a foreign company is located. This is different from a parent country national (PCN) who is a citizen of the country where the company's headquarters is located, or a third country national (TCN) who is a citizen of a country other than the host or parent country. A home country national (HCN) and a second country national (SCN) are not commonly used terms in international business. Therefore, the best choice is C) host country national (HCN).
