Answer and Explanation:

Perfect competition is a competitive market where there is a very wide number of buyers and sellers who offer the same or similar goods with great product and service information. Furthermore, this sector has free entry and exit

So it is a perfectly competitive market, also it cannot influence the market price also there are price takers

Also the given statement is false as it represents the monopoly market not the perfect competition market
