Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

If firms can agree together about pricing and output strategies, they may be able to function in the market as a monopoly, thereby increasing the profits for all firms. This is called a cartel. Frequently cartels are short-lived because there is a strong incentive for individual firms to undercut the cartel price to increase their market share and their profits.
