E.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electronics manufacturing company is headquartered in London. It has a marketing unit in New York.

Peter is a British resident, who works in the London office of the company. Keith is a US citizen and works in the New York marketing unit.

Since the company is headquartered in London, its parent country is Britain. The US is a host country for the company.

So Peter is a parent country national and Keith is host country national.
