B) Personal Devices offers high-end phones now, but that approach may not work for the company as it enters the Indian market. Low-end phones make more sense if most of the Indian consumers are located at the bottom of the pyramid, as Choice B indicates. They will demand less in the way of advanced features, and they will be more price-conscious. Choice A weakens the argument by suggesting that product innovation is the way to go.

Choice E doesn't tell us what the requirements of the different segments are or how to satisfy them.
