This is not a project or an ongoing operation. This is a new product introduction not affecting ongoing operations.

This is an ongoing operation because the company is in the business of manufacturing kitchen appliances. Introducing designer colors and features is simply a new twist on an existing process. Because the company manufactures small kitchen appliances, it already exists.

The new product introduction differs only in color of the existing product.

My answer is A

Having a new product means that the company has to come up with a new production line that is tailor made for the new product.

ANSWER - B ....... BECAUSE THIS IS ONGOING PROJECT AND COMPANY INTRODUCING NEW PRODUCT.

Quite a tricky question as I would call it a redesign of old products. This is a new way to draw attention to old products, since the design of kitchens is constantly changing and even if you take as an example https://kitchensearch.com/ who follow modern trends, a large selection of colors and shapes will be beneficial since kitchen designs are very different from each other and it is almost impossible to choose a universal small device.

the product coming into a competitive market should roll in  with a good advertising  and nice packaging  with a reduce price and unbeaten quality so i will go with B

Option A is true as a new product line of appliances is introduced by the company.Thus it is a new project handled by the company.These new products are introduced in various new designer colors and features and are offered indefinitely,Whose inttroduction will be made by the company in the upcoming spring release catalog as a part of promotion of the new product line.

this is definitely a new project because this new product line has never been manufactured and sold before by the company. Such products has to be handled as a new project entirely

All answers seem to be postive, however I would like to go with option B for specifica about ongoing operation and introducing designer color is simply new twist.
