In the 1920s and 1930s, economists became increasingly aware that there were industries that did not fit the model of perfect competition or pure monopoly. Two separate theories of monopolistic competition resulted.

B) a relatively small number of producers offering similar but differentiated products.
C) a market situation in which a large number of firms produce identical products.
D) a market situation in which a small number of firms produce similar products.
