Question

In a suburban community outside a city in Alabama, a retail store opened that specialized in dancewear for children and adults. It was moderately successful for five years until the local newspaper published an exposé that scanty lingerie stocked in the back of the store's showroom was selling briskly to a certain clientele. Afterward, the store lost most of its customers and nearly closed. Which segment of the environment did the store owners fail to take into account when they began selling the lingerie?

Answer 1

a. the sociocultural segment

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the retail store is opened that deals in dancewear for children and adults. Also, it became successful for five years but after that in the local newspaper it makes an expose that it was selling briskly to a specific clientele with respect to the scanty lingerie due to which it lost most of its customers and therefore it is closed

So in this given situation, it is a sociocultural segment as the company's wants to take care of the society along with its business or there should be a corporate social responsibility. Also the trust of the customers, goodwill cannot bring back, etc

Therefore the correct option is A.
