    The correct answer is option B.

    Explanation:

    If a producer has patent for a product it means others cannot produce it. So, this a barrier to entry.

    Similarly, in case of licensing only the producer holding license can produce. So, it is barrier to entry.

    The control to a crucial input will also restrict others to produce. So, this will also be considered as a barrier.

    Economies of scale is cost advantage to a firm because of its large size. It is a barrier to entry as it would discourage other new firms to enter.

    Absence of economies of scale is not a barrier to entry in the product market.
