B is most interesting because you know winning chances are greater and you ll be rewarded. in my opinion C and D are unethical sales , when you know he know there is no use for this product why he or you pursue him for sale.

c. A customer who doesn't need your product and he knows that. Its as simple as selling a comb to a bald person, selling headphones to deaf, its simply creating the demand for the product.

Sales is very scientific process rather than an Art as believed earlier by people. Sales can be done to any person who has need. Many times customer needs are latent, and there comes the art of an experienced salesman. They make him aware of the latent need lying in the person. A best salesman is somone who is adept in understanding a customer latent hidden needs and leverages it to a successful sale. So putting a boundry on to whom to sale to, I believe a person who has a need, is aware of that need, has authority to take decision and capacity to pay for the product/services will be target "who to sell to".
