Answer:

B) Contingency planning

Explanation:

When a person or an organization develops a contingency plan, it means that they developed their plan B (or even C). This means that you are planning ahead in case something doesn't go as it should or something really bad happens. This is exactly what FEMA does with NIMS, they make contingency plans in case of emergencies.

In this specific case, it is unlikely that a natural disaster destroys the store, but an economic catastrophe might hit it. Management is developing a contingency plan in case that sales plummet. This plan might include aggressive marketing promotions, reducing personnel, lowering costs, obtaining a loan, etc.
