Answer:

Star

Step-by-step explanation:

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) growth-share matrix is a decision and planning tool which uses graphical representations of a company’s products and services to help the company decide what it should withhold, sell, or re-invest in more.

Products that has high growth within the market and also make up a sizable portion of that market are considered “stars” and should be invested in more.

The matrix is a decision-making tool, and does not necessarily take into account all the factors that a business ultimately must face.
