Which one of the following is NOT the pre-requisite of price discrimination?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The availability of multiple close substitutes makes demand highly elastic and enables buyers to switch away if a seller attempts to charge a higher price, which prevents price discrimination rather than serving as a prerequisite. Effective price discrimination requires monopoly power, segmented markets preventing resale, and differing price elasticities across sub-markets.
