Which of the following is NOT likely to be a reason that companies move into international operations?

A) to take advantage of lower production costs in regions where labour costs are relatively low
B) to develop new markets for the firm's products
C) because important raw materials are located abroad
D) to diversify the risk of global terrorist attacks

Companies may move into international operations to take advantage of lower production costs, develop new markets, or access important raw materials. However, diversifying the risk of global terrorist attacks is not a common reason for companies to expand internationally. While international operations may provide some level of diversification, the primary reasons for expanding abroad are typically related to market opportunities and cost savings.
