Answer:

The answer is "Barriers to entry typically support incumbents in a lucrative industry".

Step-by-step explanation:

Fran owns Integrated Car Parts, which started producing auto parts for electric vehicles, but it's been difficult for Fran to establish itself as just a part producer for a diesel engine which would be more lucrative. Barriers to entry usually shield established participants in such a profitable industry, which most probably contributes to the issue of Consolidation.
