Solution

The correct answer is D. In a monopolistically competitive market structure, each firm sells a good that is slightly different from goods sold by other firms. This is because firms in this type of market structure differentiate their products from those of their competitors. This could be in terms of quality, design, branding, etc. This product differentiation gives them some degree of market power, as it makes their product unique in the eyes of consumers.
