b. This statement is false. In a Stackelberg duopoly, the first mover gets to act as a monopolist and has the advantage.

c. The statement is true. By removing dominated strategies, we'd be left with dominant strategies for both players which would result in a pure/mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium.

d. The statement is false. The players only compare their own payouts while comparing different strategies.
