Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect price discrimination is also known as first degree price discrimination. Under a condition of perfect price discrimination, the firms charge prices according to the willingness of the buyers. So, there will be no consumer surplus and no dead-weight loss because prices of the product are exactly equal to the its marginal cost which makes the market allocative efficient.
