Answer: The correct answer is "C. Cash cow".

Explanation: According to the BCG matrix, this SBU would be categorized as a Cash cow, because cow products are also known as cash generators are those that generate a lot of liquidity and require relatively few investments. We would therefore be talking about products that are already consolidated in a market with little growth.

The objective is to maintain the competitive situation of these products because they are the ones that generate money for us to subsequently invest in others.
