Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D.

The best example that you could come up with is that of a small corner store in competition with Walmart. There is no way that a corner store could make a living if it must compete with a large store like Walmart.

Walmart is not exactly a Monopoly, but the idea is that a monopoly controls much of the market. By forcing the monopolies to break up, it makes it easer for the smaller stores to compete.

A: not the answer. Exactly the opposite is true.

B: Governments make money when more products are sold, not less. Think of how a sales tax works.

C: I'm not exactly sure how C works, but D is the actual answer.
