Answer:

B. All businesses will need a percentage of the market share to survive.

Explanation:

Businesses with small market shares can be successful, but a larger market share means more profit potential, lesser effort to sell more, and a stronger barrier against competitors entering the market. A business that is below the optimal level for market share should plan to develop its market share, while a business at the optimal level should plan to fight to maintain it.
