Which term describes organizations made up of professionals in a specific industry?

• A. Trade association
• B. Customer profile
• C. Focus group
• D. Demographics

Answer: (A)

Trade associations are membership organizations formed by professionals or companies within a specific industry to collaborate, share knowledge, set standards, and advocate for the field. This makes the term the best fit for describing organizations made up of professionals in a particular industry. A customer profile describes typical buyers, not a professional group; a focus group is a small discussion panel used for market research; demographics refer to population data such as age or income, not an organization.
