网考网解析：
[注释] 推理题。文章倒数第二段的这句话的意思是“What it boils down to is HP is trying to do a straddle，and ends up as the filling in the sandwich of two competitors，”对惠普而言，这意味着采取骑墙政策，最终的结果只能是沦为两个对手所形成的三明治之间的肉馅。文中第六段具体说明了惠普的情况是：“finds itself in the position of trying to sell low-profit，commodity products while at the same time trying to be a respected player in the high-end businesses．”(发现自己既想向顾客提供低利润的商品，同时又想在高端领域成为受尊敬的对手。)，由此可以推断，正确答案是C。 查看试题解析出处>>
