Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": franchise.
Explanation:
A franchise is an agreement between a franchisee and a franchisor by which the franchisee has access to the proprietary rights, trademarks, and patents of the franchisor's business in exchange for a fee called royalty. The franchisor is in charge of aiding the franchisee in the establishment of the new business according to the standards of the franchisor.
Franchises help investors to enter a market without the need of spending large amounts of money because consumers already know the franchisor's brand name.
