Research suggests that a firm with greater multimarket contact is likely to initiate an attack, but likely to respond aggressively when attacked.

less, more

Explanation:

Research suggests that a firm with greater multi market contact is less likely to initiate an attack, but more likely to respond aggressively when attacked.

Multimarket contact occurs when firms compete with the same rivals in multiple markets.

When firms compete with each other in more than one market, their competitive behavior may differ from that of single-market rivals. They do not respond as aggressive as they would have if contact or competition were to be in just one market.

Multimarket contact gives a firm more options to respond to actions or attacks by a rival in other markets other than in the market being challenged. As a result, multimarket competitors may hesitate to attack in one market for fear of retaliation in other markets.

Multimarket competition may therefore reduce the competitive intensity among rivals, an effect known as mutual forbearance.

answer may be d i think

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
