Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A corporate chain is a form of ownership where a company owns multiple outlets that are all managed and controlled under a centralized system. This allows for consistent branding, marketing, and operational practices across all locations. Examples include Starbucks or McDonald's. The other options, such as consumer cooperatives or independent retailers, do not involve multiple outlets under common ownership.
