D

Answer to Question 2

A zero-sum game is one in which one player's loss is another's gain, so the sum of the payoffs of both the players is zero. Zero-sum games occur when two or more firms are competing for consumers. For example, when you buy a Toyota Prius, Toyota's gain is another car manufacturer's loss. Poker is a zero-sum game; my winnings are your losses.
