    Answer: Option B

    Explanation: In simple words, perfect competition refers to a market structure in which there are large numbers of buyers and sellers each operating at a minor level in the market. Due to high number of participants and low level of operations no firm can individually affect the price.

    In such a structure the prices are determined by the market forces of demand and supply.

    Hence the correct option is B.
