Carlo Costa · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "A": A foreign acquisition.

Explanation:

In corporate terms, a foreign acquisition is the purchase of a company or the division of a company. Some acquisitions are paid in cash while others are paid with a combination of cash and the acquiring company stock or even financed with debt which is called a leveraged buyout.

Foreign acquisitions are often done by another company in a similar line of business who wishes to use the purchased business to improve its own operations.
