The correct answer is

Guerrilla

The attack strategies a challenger can use against a market leader include frontal, flank, encirclement, bypass and guerrilla attacks, and the clue is that this one alone cannot win by itself.

A guerrilla attack consists of small, intermittent hit-and-run assaults - selective price cuts, promotional bursts and legal actions - meant to harass and demoralise the opponent. But guerrilla warfare by itself rarely defeats a stronger rival; to actually beat the opponent the challenger must eventually back it up with a stronger, conventional attack.

Frontal, flank and encirclement attacks are themselves major offensives, not harassing tactics needing reinforcement. Only the guerrilla attack must be backed by a stronger attack.

Hence the strategy is the guerrilla attack.
