I believe C is the answer! :)
Explanation: Monopolies are 1 business that basically controls everything. There is only let’s say 1 type of gas station, so that gas station is gonna rack up the prices because there is zero competition because they /bought/ all the competitors.
I am pretty sure C is the correct answer, I hope this helped!! “:)
