I’m confused because I thought competitor advantage was more about threats, but the other points seem like weaknesses too.

I practiced a similar question where weaknesses were about internal issues. So, I feel like this is definitely weaknesses.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember that competitor advantage could be a threat. So maybe he’s working on threats?
