Letter C is the correct answer.

Perfect competition is characterized by the selling of identical products from different firms, the absence of restrictions on entry into the market, the absence of advantages to established firms over the ones that are entering the market now, both buyers and sellers being well informed about prices. Perfect competition arises if the minimum efficient scale of a single producer is small if compared to the existing demand for the good or service.
