Answer 1

(D) the affiliate replicates the production process elsewhere in the world

Step-by-step explanation:

Foreign direct investment (FDI) consists of a company or an individual's investment in business abroad. This can take place in two different ways, whether setting up business operations or getting business assets in the other country. This is the example of a multinational that wants to get or establish an operation that has a supplier's role or distributor's role.
