    Full Answer

    B.Market skimming✓ Correct
    Market skimming is appropriate for highly innovative products with short life cycles and barriers to entry (patents). It involves charging high prices initially to maximize revenue from early adopters who are willing to pay a premium, before lowering the price as competitors enter.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing skimming with penetration pricing.
