Answer 1

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation: In simple words, perfect competition refers to market structure in which there are large number of participants each operating at small level.

The prices of commodities in such markets are determined by the forces of demand and supply as no individual participant is able to influence the price on his or her own.

Thus, the statement depicting Jill not able to decrease price even after increase ins supply depicts perfect completion.
