The correct answer is:

collecting marketing intelligence that is publicly available

The correct answer is "collecting marketing intelligence that is publicly available." This approach involves monitoring and analyzing publicly available data, such as social media activity, to gather insights about a competitor's new product. It does not involve any unethical or illegal activities like hacking into customer accounts or asking employees for personal data. Gathering information through publicly available sources is a common and ethical practice in marketing research.
