The correct choice is: "It affects profit, sales, and customer perception."
Why:
- Profit: Price directly determines revenue and margins — set too low and you may not cover costs; set too high and you may lose profitable volume.
- Sales/demand: Price influences customer buying decisions (price elasticity). Lower prices can boost volume; higher prices can reduce it — or increase perceived value for some segments.
- Customer perception/positioning: Price signals quality and brand position (premium vs. value). It affects who your customers are and how they view your product.
- Strategic effects: Pricing interacts with competition, market share, promotional strategy (including advertising), and long-term viability.
The other two statements are incorrect: pricing is far more than an advertising lever, and it certainly does impact business success.
