    C wimpy and mild

    Explanation:

    The Allocated fixed Common overhead is irrelevant for this Decision because the expense is a head office expense which is managed by a Head office department.

    Of our interest is the Incremental Revenues and Expenses that result from existence of a Segment (Segment Margin).

    The segment margin consists of controllable Fixed and Variable costs attributable to a particular segment.

    Discontinue flavor giving a negative Segment Margin that is : Wimpy and Mild
