Answer:

maturity

Explanation:

The four stages of a product's life cycle are:

  1. introduction: the new product is released in the market (it is born), sales are slow and advertisement costs are high.
  2. growth: sales volume increases, customers know about the product, and competing firms are starting to launch their own versions of the product.
  3. maturity: sales growth stops, which means that total sales reached a zenith, companies fight to keep their share of the market and generally launch different versions of the product to keep customers interested.
  4. decline: sales volume starts to decrease as the product becomes obsolete. Finally the product will stop being produced (the product dies).
