Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Possibility of the existing product becoming obsolete due to new government regulations

Environmental study helps a business foresee external changes such as government regulations. If new rules may make an existing product obsolete or restrict its use, this is a warning of a threat. In contrast, a new customer segment, rising demand, and cost-saving technology generally indicate opportunities. Exam tip: Treat an environmental change that may cause loss or restriction as a threat signal.
