Which competitor profile is described as always responding aggressively?

• A. Laid back
• B. Selective
• C. Tiger
• D. Stochastic

Answer: (C)

The question is about how firms react to competitors—different profiles describe different postures. The Tiger profile is defined by constant, aggressive responses to rivals’ moves: quick, forceful retaliation and actions designed to deter or outperform competitors. This fits “always responding aggressively” because aggression is the default, ongoing approach rather than selective or avoidant behavior. In contrast, a laid back profile tends to avoid confrontation, a selective profile retaliates only in certain situations, and a stochastic profile reacts in an unpredictable or inconsistent way, not with a steady aggressive stance.
