Asset stripping, definitely. The company's being gutted and its parts sold off. Seems like a pretty ruthless strategy to me.

Asset stripping for sure. The company is being broken up and its assets sold off to the highest bidder. Not very friendly for the employees, I imagine.

Yes, it does seem like asset stripping. The focus is on selling off the assets for maximum value.

This is a classic case of asset stripping. The company is being taken over and its assets sold off, rather than being kept running.

I'd go with 'B' - asset stripping. The company is being broken up and its assets sold, rather than being kept as a going concern.

Asset stripping makes sense in this scenario, maximizing value through selling off assets.

Asset stripping seems like the obvious choice here. The company's assets are being sold off to maximize value, rather than being run as a going concern.
