The correct answer is B) basic product.

Explanation:

The basic product is the first level of a product and is the good or service that covers a need.

It refers to the intrinsic product that covers the need. For example, it can be pure water to satisfy thirst, a car to be transported or telecommunications services to be able to communicate.

The basic product is what the generic of a satisfactory represents. However, even at this minimum level of product, the company should know that each consumer requires a product that meets their need, but this need is different in each.
