Answer 1

D) oligopoly

Step-by-step explanation:

An oligopoly is a market dominated by few suppliers. There is very limited competition mainly due to high entry barriers and concentrated market power. The most important entry barriers are economies of scale, patents and other expensive technologies and government licences. Also, since the oligopolistic firms have great market power, they usually carry out actions designed to discourage new competitors or directly eliminate them.
