Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The adaption model was developed by Miles and Snow (1978)

Businesses are classified as :

  • Reactors
  • Defenders
  • Analysers
  • prospectors

Company XYZ can be classified as a defender. this is because they have taken steps to increase control internally. It also has a lot of rules which might stifle adaption
