    If Firm 2 does not advertise, Firm 1 should advertise

    If Firm 2 advertises, then Firm 1 should also advertise

    Firm 1 dominant strategy is to advertise

    Firm 2 dominant strategy is to advertise

    1. A. Nash equilibrium is for both Firms to advertise.

    Explanation:

    Nash equilibrium is a state where interactions by different firms in a matrix is involved. No firm can gain by a unilateral change of strategy if other firm does not changes its strategy. It is a situation where there is optimal when there is no deviation from the initial strategy. Here firm 1 can by advertise and Firm 2 can also optimize by advertising.
