Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Statement II is correct and Statement I is incorrect. Under customer profitability analysis, persistently unprofitable customers who defect to a competitor can be encouraged to do so because serving them costs more than the revenue they generate. Most large companies maintain their own internal marketing research departments alongside using external research firms, rather than lacking in-house departments.
