Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The perplexing question about the strong-culture perspective is related to the causality between strong cultures and economic performance. It questions the assumption that strong cultures lead to better performance by suggesting that the causality might be reversed, with strong economic performance potentially leading to the creation of strong cultures.
