Explanation

When entering a market where similar services already exist and demand is proven, competitive pricing (B) is essential to attract customers away from established providers - pricing too high loses business to competitors, while pricing in line with the market positions the new entrant as a viable alternative. Option A is wrong because inflating prices short-term in a competitive market simply drives customers to existing providers who offer comparable value. Option C addresses cost transparency, which is a governance or regulatory concern, not a market-entry pricing strategy. Option D (long-term fixed contracts) is premature before you've established market presence and understood actual costs and demand patterns - locking in prices early can trap you in unprofitable commitments. Memory tip: Think "match before you differentiate" - in a competitive market, you must first compete on price to win customers, then optimize margins over time.
