【C12】
选项 A、fortune
B、asset
C、possession
D、property
答案B
解析 根据选项和句意，本句大意是“建立长期、令人满意的公共形象对企业是一笔宝贵的财富或资产”；下文继续提到好的企业形象能提高价格，赢得最好的经销商和雇员，赢得更低的借贷成本和更高的收益等，这些都是“企业形象”这种资产带来的增值。A选项fortune意为“财富，运气，命运”；B选项asset意为“资产，财产”，如公司的有形或无形资产；C选项possession意为“拥有，领土，财产(常用复数)”；D选项property意为“财产，所有物，所有权”。企业的目的是盈利，此处将企业公共形象形容为企业的资产更合适。
