Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

There are two types of market power. They are as follows:
a) Legal market power: Legal market power arises when the government grants exclusive production rights to particular firms, thus creating barriers to entry.
b) Natural market power: Natural market power arises when barriers to entry occur naturally. This can happen when a firm owns or controls a key resource necessary for production or when a firm enjoys economies of scale over the relevant range of output.
