Q: If a company starts a gym app after seeing fitness trend in society this is an example of what?

Use of opportunity The direct answer is C: use of opportunity. A fitness trend in society indicates a possible change in people’s needs and spending. By starting a gym app, the company converts that social trend into a product or service that may satisfy customers. The reasoning is: observe fitness trend → recognise likely demand → create a gym app → use the business opportunity. Option A is wrong because the company is acting on a favourable trend, not ignoring a threat. Option B is wrong because starting a suitable app is not automatically a resource loss; it is a planned response. Option C is correct because the company uses an opportunity created by a social change. Option D is wrong because the company is moving closer to the market and customers, not away from it. Memory cue: noticing a useful trend and acting on it means opportunity utilisation.
