The answer is: C) franchising

Explanation:

A franchise is type of business that is owned and operated by a franchisee (an individual entity) which is branded and overseen by a franchisor (a larger company). E. g. Subway, Pizza Hut, etc.

When the franchisee opens his business, he will use the franchisor's business model and system, and most importantly, the franchisor's brand.
