Wait, did they say customers are external stakeholders? I thought they were, like, the reason the business exists. Guess I better double-check that one. Oh, and did anyone else notice the irony of 'pressure groups' being an option? Talk about pressure on the exam!

External stakeholders, you say? Well, I know one thing for sure - my couch is an external stakeholder in my life. It's always there, judging me as I study for this exam. Anyway, I think I'll go with option A.

Okay, let's see here. Shareholders and employees are internal, so that rules out option D. Customers are external, so that's a good one. I'll go with option B and hope for the best.

External stakeholders, huh? I'm definitely picking option C - government, trade unions, and pressure groups. Gotta love those pesky lobbyists, am I right? Hopefully, they don't crash the exam room.

I think option C is the correct one too. Those external stakeholders can really shake things up.

Hmm, this is tricky. Shareholders, government, and pressure groups seem like obvious external stakeholders, but I'm not sure about customers and trade unions. Guess I'll have to think this through carefully.
