If a foreign country's consumers tend to only purchase products that are produced locally, the least effective strategy for a U$.$S$.$ firm is to:$$

a$.$

$$develop a subsidiary $($under the U$.$S$.$ name$)$ that manufactures products in that country and exports them to border countries.

b$.$

$$enter into a joint venture in that country.

c$.$

$$use a licensing arrangement with a local firm in that country.

d$.$

$$develop a subsidiary $($under the U$.$S$.$ name$)$ that manufactures and sells products in that country.
