Answer 1

The authorities would issue a complaint if the network monopoly undertakes predatory practices to maintain its monopoly position

Step-by-step explanation:

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

The antitrust policy ensures the monopoly doesn't abuse its power and to protect consumers.

Predatory pricing is when a business sets its price very low with the intent of chasing out competitors from the market. This violates antitrust policy and as a result authorities would intervene.
