Answer:

D) Backward integration

Step-by-step explanation:

A backward integration strategy is a type of vertical integration where a company starts producing materials or components previously purchased from vendors. E.g. Boeing purchases its wing flap motors from a vendor, but if it decides to produce them themselves it will carry out a backward integration (upstream).
