How to think about questions like this
Application questions test whether you can connect a real-world example to the right framework. The trick is to ignore the surface details (industry, company name) and focus on the underlying mechanic the example illustrates.
For Brand Positioning specifically, look for the signal: Strong positioning is the only thing competitors cannot copy. That signal is what distinguishes the right answer from plausible-sounding alternatives.
