Answer:

b. the ability of an innovative company to achieve long-term competitive advantages by being the first to offer a certain product in the marketplace.

Explanation:

                             In business terms, a "first mover advantage" means a company which is first to market a certain product in the market or launched in the market so as to gain advantage over other rival companies. By doing such, it provides a competitive advantage to the organisation.

                              Thus, as a first mover advantage, an organisation has the ability to achieve  a long term competitive advantage by being first in the market to offer a product.

Thus the answer is

b. the ability of an innovative company to achieve long-term competitive advantages by being the first to offer a certain product in the marketplace.
