Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
One with no specific objectives, that is fully flexible, using opportunism to seize the main chance at the right moment is an emergent strategy. Emergent strategy is a set of actions, or behavior, consistent over time, “a realized pattern [that] was not expressly intended” in the original planning of strategy. When a deliberate strategy is realized, the result matches the intended course of action.
