Assume that you work for a company that produces different types of flavored salty snacks for many different target markets (for example, flavored potato chips or flavored sunflower seeds). One part of your job is to explore regularly what flavors your potential customers might like. Taste preferences constantly change, and you may not always be aware of all the flavors people crave. With the above research objective in mind, which type of research would you most likely conduct on a regular basis

The focus group refers to the people who are involved in a group to discuss about the topic that is related to the research of the market or the analysis of something or discussing for the new product.

It is an open discussion so that everyone who is in a group put their ideas and analyzed it what reactions would be received from an entire population

Since in the question, the taste and preferences changes constantly and the problem is that you are not aware of the flavours what actually people want so it should be discussed in a group so that proper analysis could be made by considering everyone perceptions

Therefore this research represent the focus group
