Answer:

Available only for monopolies

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, price discrimination in America is illegal only when it impedes competition in market or is done on the basis of race, religion etc. America is a capital intensive market which makes it a free market as well, in such a market framework, the market forces affect the prices and competition always remains high.

Therefore, monopolies are the only firms that can perform price discrimination to some extent.
