Which of the following best represents SWOT analysis?

• A. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
• B. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
• C. Strengths, Customers, Operations, Trends
• D. Markets, Strengths, Opportunities, Threats

Answer: (A)

SWOT analysis classifies factors into four areas: internal strengths, internal weaknesses, external opportunities, and external threats. The standard representation uses the four terms: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats. The option that lists exactly these four components matches the traditional framework, making it the correct depiction. Other choices introduce terms like Customers, Operations, Trends, or Markets, which aren’t part of the four SWOT categories. So, the best representation is Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.
