A. B2C transactions typically involve direct sales to individual consumers, such as a tutoring service reaching college students or their parents.

Option 1 is incorrect as B2B companies sell to other businesses, not primarily to government agencies (which is B2G).

Option 3 is incorrect as a cybersecurity firm selling to other businesses is explicitly given as an example of a B2B company, not a B2C type.
