    The correct answer is option B.

    Explanation:

    There are three very popular supermarkets. Among them, two close at 9 p. m, while Safeway remains open 24 hours a day. Since at midnight Safeway is the only accessible supermarket and there are no close substitutes available, we can say that Safeway has a monopoly at midnight.

    Though it does not have a monopoly during the day as there are other supermarkets providing closer substitutes.
