Answer

Zach answers C: Kellogg’s.
The right answer is B: Mars.

Tough one, but I can rule out Kellogg because John Kellogg developed Corn Flakes. I'm pretty sure Dow is publicly owned. So it's down to Macy's or Mars. Originally Macy's was called R.H. Macy's (thanks to Miracle on 34th Street - the original - for that), so that leaves Mars.
