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 Post-Purchase Behavior specifically, look for the signal: Post-purchase determines lifetime value, far more than acquisition. That signal is what distinguishes the right answer from plausible-sounding alternatives.
