The difference between a core competence and a distinctive competence is best described by which of the following statements:

A core competence is central to a firm's ability to survive in a given industry, while a distinctive competence is something the firm does substantially better than rivals and that provides the foundation for a competitive advantage

A core competence is something a firm does within the heart $($i$.$e$.,$ core$)$ of its operations, while a distinctive competence is something it does just to be different

A core competence is a weakness, whereas a distinctive competence is a strength

None of the above statements adequately desecribe the difference
