Answer:

A. The price is higher.

Explanation:

The main difference between a competitive market and a monopolistic market is that in the competitive market the bidders have no power to influence the price, which is determined by the market through the interaction between supply and demand. In the monopolistic market, the only offeror has the power to decide the offer price. Therefore, in monopolies the price is higher than in competitive markets.
