• A. Advertising
• B. Public Relations
• C. Branding
• D. Customer Service

Answer: (C)

Branding describes the business personality projected to clients. It’s the overall image, voice, and feel people associate with your business—the colors, logo, slogan, tone, and the experiences you create across every touchpoint. This long-term identity shapes expectations and builds trust, helping clients recognize you, remember you, and choose you again over competitors. Advertising is about paid messages to promote products and spur action. Public relations aims to manage relationships and visibility with the media and public. Customer service covers the actual interactions and support during transactions. Branding, by contrast, is the umbrella that unifies these elements into a consistent personality that clients perceive.
