The correct answer is a conglomerate

In a conglomerate, a number of companies that are completely unrelated join together under a single parent company. For example, if a dairy products company and a video game developer company and a book publisher wanted to join together, they would form a conglomerate. They grow rapidly because they usually buy many companies and their stocks rise.
