Answer: d. cause businesses to increase their focus on nonprice aspects of their promotional message.

Explanation: The internet has made it possible for shopping to be done online. Businesses will most likely increase their focus on nonprice aspects of their promotional message as a result of the technology. This would be largely due to an increase in price competition as more and more consumers have instant access to prices from all around the world and in response to this, nonprice competition is more likely to be on the rise.
