Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the marketing department in a business context. Marketing is primarily concerned with activities that promote and sell the company's products or services.

Eliminate options that do not align with the core functions of marketing. For example, managing employee recruitment and training is typically the responsibility of the human resources department.

Consider the production of goods, which is generally overseen by the operations or production department, not marketing.

Recognize that recording and reporting financial transactions is the role of the accounting department, not marketing.

Conclude that the primary business objective of the marketing department is to promote and sell the company's products or services, as this aligns with its core function.
