c.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this can be analyzed by anthropologists as a form of negative reciprocity. This term refers to when an action has a negative effect on someone else and that person then undertakes another action which has the same effect on another person, and so on. As is being described in this scenario as each person takes an action in order to get the best deal they possibly can, but at the same time undercutting those around.
