Answer:

D) Offering different prices to different customers for the same product

Step-by-step explanation:

A price discrimination strategy refers to selling the same product or service to different customers at different prices. Companies will try to charge each customer the highest price he/she is willing to pay for the product or service. Theoretically, if a company is able to carry out a successful price discrimination strategy, consumer surplus would be eliminated because the company would charge every customer the highest possible price.
