Answer:

B. competitive for profit

Read Explanation:

  • Dog eat dog - വിട്ടു വീഴ്ചയില്ലാത്ത മത്സരം.
  • When someone says that a situation or a business environment has become "dog eat dog," they mean that അത് വളരെ മത്സരാധിഷ്ഠിതമായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്നു, പലപ്പോഴും കഠിനവും രൂക്ഷവുമായ മത്സരത്തിൽ എല്ലാവരും വിജയിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുന്നു, often at the cost of others, ലാഭത്തിനോ വിജയത്തിനോ വേണ്ടി. (A highly competitive and ruthless environment where individuals or companies will do whatever it takes to succeed, often at the expense of others). 
  • E.g. The TV business today is a dog-eat-dog business. (ടെലിവിഷൻ വ്യവസായം വളരെ മത്സരാധിഷ്ഠിതവും ക്രൂരവുമാണ്, അവിടെ കടുത്ത മത്സരവും ആക്രമണാത്മക തന്ത്രങ്ങളും നിലനിൽക്കുന്നു).
