Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option. When asking people to do business, the safest and most appropriate condition is when they show definite signs of wanting to do business (option C). Other options rely on one's own feeling of certainty (which can be inaccurate) or accept the risk of offending, while option C is based on the other party's clear signals, reducing the risk of misjudgment.

Answer:

C. The show definite signs they want to do business with you, otherwise it is better not to try asking.
