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. Â
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.
