Lands' End was primarily known as a catalog retailer, so its competition would be other retailers who also sell clothes through catalogs, as well as brick and mortar stores.

Choice B (cross-functional competition) and choice C (functional competition) do not accurately describe Lands' End's competitors. Choice D (non-competitive to Lands' End's clothing) is not correct because Lands' End has competition in the clothing industry. Choice E (potential Land's End's acquisitions) doesn't make sense in this context as Lands' End is the company being discussed, not a company that is looking to acquire others.
