Answer:

2) an opportunity

Step-by-step explanation:

A SWOT analysis considers opportunities as favorable external factors that represent a growth opportunity for the company and the developing of a comparative advantage.

In this case, the Indian market is HUGE, more than 1.3 billion people (that is similar to the European Union + North American and South American markets together). Whoever is able to make the first step and gain a relevant position in the Indian market may increase its sales revenue dramatically.
