Answer 1

The answer would be C

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (C) "The next location would likely be in Pennsylvania because it is close to New York".

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most common tips for business growth is to look for territories where a high demand of the product is required, but also to territories where the risk of failure could be minimum. A New York-based business likely would look to expand to Pennsylvania, a large city at which the demand of their products could be justified, and a city that is relatively close to New York (170 miles) which facilitates the operation logistics.
