The correct answer is letter "E": quality modification.

Explanation:

Quality modification is the process in which a company modifies its product standards by introducing better or worst materials in the production improving or worsening the quality of the output. This is usually done to attract luxury segment clientele - in the case of improvements, or to reduce costs - in the case of lowering the quality.
