Alden Randall · Answer 1

I believe the answer is: A. some regulations are costly to implement and cut into profits.

For example, government regulates the amount of distance between electric cables and residential area that telecommunication companies must follow.

This increase the total cost of their operation and reduce the amount of profit that the companies can get from it.
