Answer:
d) participant companies do not share costs or profits
Explanation:
The strategic alliance is the agreement of the companies for a joint project that comes to a mutual benefit for both companies.
However, unlike some other agreements of the sort (like joint venture for example), businesses keep their independence completely and do not share the resource pool, costs or profits.
The businesses are each leading their own project with own benefit, just joining it in a shorter or longer joint project.
