Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The door-in-the-face technique involves making a large request that is expected to be refused so that the person will be more likely to agree to a smaller request. By first proposing a $44,000 sports car, Mark sets up a scenario where the $25,000 sports car seems more reasonable in comparison.
