Which term describes a traditional retail business that operates from physical store locations?

• A. Trick banner
• B. Retailing
• C. Brick & mortar businesses
• D. Commercial

Answer: (C)

Brick-and-mortar describes the traditional retail setup where customers visit a physical store, browse products, and make purchases in person. It highlights the tangible storefront as the core aspect of the business model, unlike online-only shops. In the question, this term fits best because it explicitly denotes operating from physical locations. The other terms don’t fit as precisely: trick banner isn’t a standard retail term, retailing refers to the broader act of selling to consumers (which can be online or in-store), and commercial is a general business term that doesn’t specify a physical storefront.
