Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intangible assets are non-physical assets that provide value to a company, such as patents, trademarks, and brand recognition. A company that is primarily service and information oriented indicates that its assets may be more intangible in nature, as opposed to a company that relies heavily on physical assets such as machinery and equipment (Choice B). The global reach of a company (Choice A) or the diversity of its workforce (Choice D) do not provide direct indications of the nature of the company's assets.
