    In a competitive market, a large number of producers compete with each other to satisfy the needs of their consumers. In here, no one or group of producers can dictate the price. They have only one major decision to make-and that is, what quantity to produce. Therefore, when Tom decided to produce commemorative t-shirts, and decrease his output, This decision did not increase his revenue, since did not lead to higher market price nor the competitors will decrease their output. The answer is C. decrease his revenue, for price remains the same.
