According to the passage, which one of the following is not a difficulty that Indian IT firms will face in emerging markets?

The passage mentions three difficulties: emerging-market companies are 'still unaccustomed to the concept of outsourcing' (mindset resistance), 'costs in other emerging economies equally low' so Indian firms can't compete on price alone, and 'Cultural conflicts arise at times while training new recruits'. The claim that 'US is their preferred outsourcing destination' is not stated as a difficulty—it is actually a historical fact about Indian IT's past clientele, not a barrier in emerging markets. Hence (3) is correct.
