Astore that sells books and a store that sells tools are what type of competitors?
noncompetitors
direct competitors
indirect competitors
partial competitors

Option A.

Explanation:

Non-competitors, is the right answer.

Competition occurs when at least two companies or parties attempt for a goal which cannot be distributed: where the gain of one is the loss of others. Accordingly, the proximity of one or more contestants can decrease the costs of goods and services as the groups try to get a more extended market share. However, in the given situation, there are two stores; one sells books and the other sells tools, hence, there is no competition between them. Therefore, option A, is right.
