D) direct exporting.

B) an agency relationship.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

In this scenario, Consolidated (principal) empowers Doha Ltd., an Egyptian firm to enter into contracts in certain countries on behalf of Consolidated. Thus, this is an agency relationship.

An agency relationship can be defined as a mutual relationship existing between two parties, wherein a principal authorizes the agent to act as the principal's representative or on his behalf (fiduciary role) in dealing with third parties.

Basically, Consolidated is the principal based on the agency relationship while Doha Ltd. is considered to be an agent and as such is authorized or empowered to enter into contracts in certain countries on behalf of Consolidated.
