Irrespective of the market structure, it is true regarding profit maximization by all types of firms that all forms maximize profits at the quantity where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. In other words this can be stated as all types of firms maximize profit at the quantity where the additional cost of producing one more unit of output(i.e, Marginal Cost) is equal to to the additional revenue of selling one more unit of output (i.e, Marginal Revenue).
Hence, second option is correct.
