Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition refers to the market structure where there is a large number of buyers and sellers in the market. These sellers sell heterogeneous or differentiated products in the market. Â
The firms are price makers and face a downward-sloping demand curve. There is a high degree of competition in the market due to product differentiation. That is why there is little difficulty in an entry into the market. Â
Because of product differentiation, the firms advertise their products in order to gain market share. So the existing firms in the market compete in quality, price, and marketing.
