Answer: Oligopoly

Step-by-step explanation:

The market type being described in the question is an oligopolistic market, where Dealey electric group and three other companies are in control of bulb production.

An oligopolistic market is a market where sales is being controlled by a very few number of companies and the prices of commodities in that market are also controlled by those companies.
