Answer:

B. The Organization will attempt to divest the weak line

Step-by-step explanation:

First premise is to understand that there are two activities to consider for such companies. First is the Core business of the organisation and the second is the particular business line. A weak fit between the two means, resources are being wasted as they are not being maximized .

The organisation therefore will usually attempt to divest (sell off their interest or investment) in the business line and then focus all resources and attention on the core business. Doing this will therefore, strengthen the core business and cut off the waste in resources.
