This means that there are many firms in the market, each of which sells a product that is slightly different from the products of the other firms. This product differentiation allows firms to charge a price above marginal cost, but it also limits their market power.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: Both statements are correct.
