    b. exists when a single seller experiences lower average total costs than any potential competitor

    Explanation:

    Natural Monopoly is a kind of powerful advantageous position in an industry, due to high infrastructural costs & high economies of scale benefit. The advantageous position create barriers for the other entrants in the industry. The sole company - having low infrastructural start up costs, cheaper market supply chain management, high economies of scale benefit - has lower average total costs than any potential competitor.

    Example : Tap Water. It is feasible to have only one company providing water pipes networks & sewers, as it incurs very huge capital costs to set up a wide network of water supply infrastructure systems.
