a. maturity
b. decline

Explanation:

The maturity stage of the business cycle is defined by slowing sales growth as the market becomes saturated. Companies often invest in new technology at this stage to try to revitalize growth or maintain market share, which matches the scenario. The decline stage involves falling sales (not just slowing), start-up has low initial sales with rapid growth potential, and growth has increasing sales.

A. Maturity
