Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A competitive market is one in which there are many buyers and many sellers, so each one has an insignificant influence on the market price. Each seller controls the price to a limited extent, as others offer similar products. You have few reasons to charge a lower price than the current one, and if you charge more, buyers will go to others. Also, no buyer can influence its price, since each one only buys a small amount.
