O E. Monopolistic competition

Answer:

'd' perfect competition

Explanation:

since there is a high competition and has to go according to the market. if the competetor is selling the same product in lower price the seller should decrease there price also . to attract the buyers

In a market having perfect competition, the seller of a product or service has the least amount of control over the price of such product or service. Therefore, the option D holds true.

A market having perfect competition can be referred to or considered as a market where a large number of buyers and sellers come together to trade a similar product or service. There is free entry and exit in a perfectly competitive market.

Moreover, there is no scope for price control or manipulation by the seller in a perfect competition because the seller does not have the pricing power, mainly because there are a large number of sellers dealing in similar products, and thus, the price remains the same in the whole market.

Therefore, the option D holds true regarding the significance of perfect competition.
