Answer:

B) address the concerns of all members of the buying center with particular attention to the decision maker.

Explanation:

In a consultative buying center, one person is in charge of making the final purchase decision (i.e. the decision maker), but in order for this person to make a decision, he/she will previously consult with the other members of the buying team. Therefore the seller must pay special attention to the decision maker but without forgetting about addressing the concerns of the rest of the team, since their opinion is important.
