Answer:

An opportunity for sustainable competitive advantage

Step-by-step explanation:

Sustainable competitive advantage refers to the uniqueness that a business has that makes it stand out among its peers.

Among the key things that creates sustainable competitive advantage are strategic assets,distinct brands,low-cost advantage.

A company that has discovered a rear vaccine for a major disease may go ahead to patent it such that for a number of years a competitor is prevented from producing its kind.

Some companies' powerful brands gives them a strong edge when compared to other businesses because consumers naturally have a loyalty for such powerful brands.

Low cost advantage means the ability to produce at very low cost per unit which then translates to selling at a lower than competitor's price and gaining a larger market share
