    d. Winston pays Chloe once (as a fine) and refrains from playing music loudly.

    Explanation:

    Coase Theorem states that in case of externalities : two parties can bargain and arrive at an efficient outcome, if the transaction costs are low.

    Winston's loud music is a negative externality for neighbour Chloe. So, the negative external cost can be compensated, by including it in monetary exchange mechanism.

    For negative external effect upto now : Winston should pay chloe 'fine', as the former's act has had an extra extra social cost on the latter. Winston should also refrain from paying loud music thereafter.
