Merticao, a French textile company, supplied most of its products to its primary market in Hestonia, a North American nation. However, when Hestonia faced an economic downturn and its citizens began to reduce their expenditures, Merticao began to focus more on its domestic market. As a result, Merticao was able to survive the loss of its primary market because of in global trade.

reduce risk

Explanation:

In the case when hestonis faced an economic downturn so here the expenditures are to be decreased also merticao starts for focusing more on the domestic market so here the loss should be survived due to decreased the risk in teh global trade in the primary market

Hence, the above term should be fit to the given situation

c

explanation:

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.'
