Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "A": product-specific preplanning inputs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Product-specific preplanning input is a series of efforts carried out by advertisements agencies to collect information about industry competitors, work processes, and consumers patterns and preferences on determined products that will allow them to create a strategy to merchandise a new good or service in the market.
