Q. What is a monopoly?
Top Answer
Solution:
A monopoly is a market structure in which a single firm or entity dominates the production and sale of a particular product or service. In a monopoly, the firm has complete control over the market and is the only supplier of a particular good or service, with no close substitutes.
