Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is option C.

Remember: In a monopoly, firms face a downward sloping demand curve because they have some pricing power. In perfect competition, demand is perfectly elastic, and hence firms face a horizontal demand curve as they have no pricing power and they are price takers not price makers.
