  • B. psychological pricing
  • C. promotional pricing
  • D. geographical pricing

Explanation

Psychological pricing sets prices with the buyer's mental response in mind, such as using 999 instead of 1,000 or signalling prestige through a high price. Segmented and geographic pricing vary prices for different customers or locations rather than primarily for psychological effect.
