Who is included in an international release?

• A. Everyone but the U.S. and China
• B. All markets including U.S. and China
• C. Only Europe
• D. Only Asia

Answer: (A)

International release means distributing a product outside the home market. In practice, the country of origin is not included in the international rollout, so you cover all other markets around the world. China is often handled separately due to regulatory and licensing complexities, so it may be excluded from a standard international plan. That’s why the description “everyone but the U.S. and China” best fits: the international release includes all foreign markets except the home country (and often China, when it’s treated as a separate case). The other options don’t fit because they either include the home market or restrict the release to only a single region, which doesn’t match the idea of an international rollout.
