The correct answer is A) "Make the company a global organization so it can benefit from emerging markets."

Explanation:

A global organization is one that has a presence in several countries.

A global business needs some form of centralized authority, but a multilocal business works best with a dispersed national authority that allows each country to make its own decisions to adapt to local conditions.

It is important to know that if the company cannot make organizational changes, it is necessary to try to adopt global strategies.
