Correct Answer: To fund new business ventures


Solution : The correct answer is (d) To fund new business ventures

Diversification often involves venturing into new business areas, launching new products or services, or entering different markets. These expansions require capital for research and development, marketing, hiring additional staff, acquiring assets, covering operational expenses, and other investment needs. External financing, such as loans or equity investment, provides the necessary funds to support these diversification initiatives and facilitate the successful expansion of the business into new ventures. Options a, b, and c are not relevant to the need for external financing in the context of diversification.
