Correct answer: D. Complex buying behaviour

  • A. Routine response behaviour
  • B. Habitual buying behaviour
  • C. Variety-seeking buying behaviour
  • D. Complex buying behaviour

Explanation

Complex buying behaviour occurs when involvement is high and consumers perceive significant differences among brands. Habitual behaviour involves low involvement and little perceived difference, while variety seeking usually involves switching for change rather than extensive evaluation.
