单项选择题
An oligopolistic firm:（）
A. will consider the potential response of its rivals when making business decisions.
B. is likely to be formed when the minimum-cost output is only a small portion of the market output.
C. is likely to be formed when barriers to entry are low.
答案
参考答案：A
解析：
Oligopolists are highly dependent upon the actions of their rivals when making business decisions. Price determination in the auto industry is a good example. Automakers tend to play "follow the leader" and announce price increases in close synchronization. They are not working explicitly together, but the actions of one producer have a large impact on the others when products are differentiated, quality may be a competitive strategy.
