Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Facebook postings are providing feedback from customers about how they perceive Stephen's restaurant. If multiple posts describe it as a "good family restaurant" and "a perfect end to a day of shopping," it suggests that customers may not yet see the restaurant as a sports bar. Therefore, there is a need for positioning to make sure the restaurant is perceived in the desired way.
