B) Livy's gas utility bill doesn't go up during a natural gas shirtage

C) the corn syrup in Marcu's candy was cheaper to use than sugar

Some ways to regulate monopolies are:
- Average cost pricing
- Implement price ceiling
- Rate of return regulation
- Tax or subsidy
Though these are not the perfect solution but somehow limit the price to a much reasonable one. The antitrust law is critical in regulating natural monopoly. In worse cases, the government can break up monopolies through legal processes.
