Answer #1

Answer - Option B

It gets larger and larger

In case of imperfect competition , sellers are in the position to influence the market price. They can sell more by reducing the price. Hence can earn the super normal profits. Thus the profits keep on increasing as sales grow.

It is equal to price in perfect competition. It is not smaller than price. Hence option B is correct.
