Which of the following is one of the assumptions of perfect competition?

Few buyers and few sellers
Many buyers and few sellers
Many buyers and many sellers
All sellers and buyers are honest

The correct answer is C. Many buyers and many sellers.

Perfect competition is a market structure in which there are many buyers and sellers of a homogeneous product, and no one buyer or seller has a significant impact on the market price. In a perfectly competitive market, buyers and sellers have perfect information about the product and the market, and there are no barriers to entry or exit.

Option A is incorrect because a market with few buyers and few sellers is a monopoly. A monopoly is a market structure in which there is only one seller of a good or service.

Option B is incorrect because a market with many buyers and few sellers is an oligopoly. An oligopoly is a market structure in which there are a few large sellers of a good or service.

Option D is incorrect because honesty is not an assumption of perfect competition. In a perfectly competitive market, buyers and sellers are assumed to be rational and self-interested, but there is no assumption that they are honest.
