Answer #1

Answer : The answer is option A.

In given game both players will cooperate each other either if both select Pay strategy or Don't pay strategy. But if one player select Pay strategy and another player select Don't pay strategy then they will not cooperate each other. Because in this situation there occur an incentive to go to other strategy to get higher profit. So, here the outcome may be either (Pay, Pay) or (Don't pay, Don't pay). As both players gets higher profit by choosing Pay strategy hence both will select the Pay strategy. Therefore, the Nash equilibrium of this game is (Pay, Pay).

Hence except option A other options are not correct. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
