Answer:

c. In China, KFC sells a spicier chicken the farther away its restaurants are from the coastal areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

As for the general business terms:

Geographical Segmentation refers to a situation where a company targets and creates a strategy based on the geographical location of the business.

In the given instance it is only KFC which has a strategy of selling spicy chicken in cities which are far away from any coast, because people near cost do not eat spicy food, and people in cities living opposite to coastal areas are much interested in spicy food.

Here, the strategy is based on the geographical location of the outlet.

Thus, it completely relates to geographical segmentation.
