C. A capability that is superior to the competition

Explanation:

Distinctive competency of a firm simply refers to a firm's unique capability which makes the firm stand out in an area (areas such as marketing activities, technology etc) among their competitors. Distinctive competence makes a firm have an advantage over others, as well as perform better than other competitors.

For example, the distinctive competency of Apple is their ability to create well-designed products that are customer-centric and friendly to use.
