Answer 1

A) new buy

Step-by-step explanation:

A new buy situation is basically when you have to purchase a product or service for the first time. Since the company hasn't purchased this product or service before, the buying team will have to define several aspects for the first time and that takes time (e.g. potential vendors, different product qualities, etc.). There is no precedent buying situation, so the entire process must be completed.
