But what about B) Loss leader? It could also apply if they sell at a loss to draw in buyers.

I’m stuck between A and B. I know penetration pricing is for market share, but loss leader sounds like it could fit too.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is premium pricing ever used to rapidly gain market share and discourage competitors? I'll have to review my notes on the different pricing strategies.

Okay, the key here is that the company is trying to discourage competitors from entering the market. That makes me think this is more of a market skimming strategy than a penetration pricing one.
