Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The "damaged goods" strategy refers to incurring additional costs to make the cheaper goods unattractive to high-value users. This strategy is often used by companies to differentiate their products and pricing tiers, in order to appeal to customers with different budgets and needs. By intentionally making a cheaper product less desirable, companies can push customers towards more expensive options and increase their profit margins.
