    Answer: b. if a seller charges more than the going price, buyers will go elsewhere to make their purchases

    Explanation:

    A competitive market is characterised by:

    1. Firms in the market been price takers.

    2. No barriers to entry or exit.

    3. Perfect homogenous products.

    Because goods in a competition market are homogenous, if a firm increases it's price, customers would go and buy the product from the firm that sells at the market price.

    Also firms in a competitive market are price takers, so they cannot set the market price.
