Zachariah Huerta · Answer 1

b) they are in different industries.

Explanation:

Businesses are unrelated when their internal activities that lead to the production of goods and services are very different. A difference in the value chains implies that the end products will be dissimilar.

Unrelated businesses will not compete against each other for suppliers or customers. The market gaps they attempt to fill are very diverse. For example, A phone service company is unrelated to a TV service firm.
