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 PESTLE Analysis specifically, look for the signal: External SWOT cells are only credible when each item is sourced to a PESTLE category. That signal is what distinguishes the right answer from plausible-sounding alternatives.
