I feel like "Diversify" could be a strategy, but I don't remember it being a main focus in the BCG matrix.

Alright, time to put my strategic thinking hat on. The BCG matrix is all about managing the cash flow and growth of different business units. I'll need to match the options to that framework.

Hmm, I'm not sure about 'defer' and 'diversify' in this context. Gotta read up on the BCG matrix again.
