Answer:
The correct answer is b. Foreign direct investment.
Explanation:
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) consists of the capital investment by a natural person or a legal entity (institutions and public companies, private companies, etc.) in a foreign country. In the country of destination, this capital inflow can be made through the creation of new production plants or the participation in companies already established to form a subsidiary of the investment company. According to the OECD, FDI aims to exercise long-term control over the acquired or investee company, and the criteria established to define it is that the property acquired by the parent company be at least 10% of the subsidiary.
