Answer:

The correct answer is a. Direct foreign investment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Foreign direct investment refers to the generation of new business by foreign companies or individuals in a given country. This type of investment seeks to open markets and globalize firms, which can belong to any sector of the economy. In recent years it is very common to see businesses applied to new technologies, and about 50 years ago the common thing was to create foreign branches that exploited land resources.
