The correct answer is B. 1, 2 and 4.

not being used to their full potential. By merging, the companies can often utilize these resources more effectively, which can lead to cost savings and increased profits.
  • Reduce tax liability: In some cases, companies may merge in order to reduce their tax liability. This can be done by transferring assets to a new company that is in a lower tax bracket.
  • Option 3 is not a motive for mergers. A merger is not a way to break up a monopoly. In fact, mergers can often lead to the creation of monopolies.
