Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Product-support services are assistance with operating, maintaining, and/or repairing products for customers. These services can be critical to the sale of related products. For example, Swedish appliance maker AB Electrolux manufactures vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances under such names as Eureka, Frigidaire, Tappan, and Weed Eater. The firm also has service operations set up to repair those products for consumers who buy them, to provide replacement parts, and so on. The firm's ability to sell its appliances would be harmed substantially if it did not offer these related services.
